It's hard to know if a brand is good or not these days cause of all the rubbish they write in the advertising. It's starting to get pricy might have to leave it standard I'm not sure of the power gain either to make see if it's worth it or not.

The ebay Procomp kit is a bit hit and miss.
Some of the components are ok,some are crap.
I have one of their 383 cranks in mine and it has put out 564 hp so the crank is ok. You need to do some basic checks on the cranks as in regards to checking out si

The block is Dart which utilizes the best bits of the Windsor and Cleveland, and accepts the better flowing Clevo style heads.
It looks like they do alot of mods with the cooling system with those hoses tapped into the front of the heads? Certainly is va

The block pavtek use is a dart block for the 434. I had my 393 machined up by Pavtek. They're definately worth it. A stroker costs bugger all extra than a stock cubed build. Basically 378/383/393/408 are all stock clevo blocks. Anything larger needs a lar |
