Re: 347 Stroker

yes you can use a standard block, however because of the new length and geometry of the connecting rods, they will actually strike the piston sleeves during their rotation. Set up the crank and one piston and you will instantly see the problem. The sleeves will have to be notched very carefully with a grinder to allow enough clearance for the rods without notching so far up the sleeve the oil rings risk being exposed. It can be a very tricky business.
