stoker newbie

Curious? How is it you know nothing about a motor that you paid for? If it was mine I would want to know every item that makes up the entire build including all the measurements!

Well its been a long project. The guy has been working with me financially. He has told me everything before i just have forgot most of it. When I pick it up I will have a build sheet for it.

I see where the builder used ARP head bolts but didn't do ARP main studs/bolts?
 
It's your pic and those are not ARP......

I keep forgetting to ask, what kind of hp/tq numbers were you shooting for?
 
Those rockers might be from 505?

i talked to my engine builder today and you are correct those are not ARPs but it is an older picture before he had replaced them. as far as hp/tq numbers i would like to see 300hp and 350 torque but i know more realistically its gonna be like 280-290 and 325. they are 505 rockers as well
 
Did you find out about the cam? What ratio are the rockers?

I saw the spec sheet but I didn't look closely at it. He's giving me a copy of everything when I pick up the engine. And I didn't ask, I'm not an engine builder or all that savvy on it...tried once and worked like $hit. Ill ask when I see him again this week

While you have good access to your exhaust I would get a additional bung welded in for a AFR meter.

I've been running my stroker since 2000. There is no way I would trust a stroker without an AFR gauge. I have seen too many crater while trying to figure out the fuel/air mixture. The computer (Renix) only has a small window for automatically adjusting the mixture, so getting the pressure/injector size dialed in is critical. I built mine before AFR's were affordable, so I did a ton of plug checks and dyno runs trying to figure out the correct combo. I have 250k on my stroker and it is still running strong. It is cheap insurance.

I already have an adjustable fpr and plan on making the deal for the map sensor as well. When the time comes to start it, it will be on a dyno with someone there to tune it and show me any adjustments I'd need to make along the way.
