I think COME do a stroker "kit", not sure if the block needs relieveing to allow for the extra throw of the rods either.
The Holden 2 bolt end would need to be modified to accept 4 bolt caps at the least.
im considering a 355 stroker

I think the HRT 427 engines were special GenIII blocks that are longer to allow for the bigger bores. Of course cranks, heads etc are all different. Those engines were bought in to the country by HSV I believe through a Newcastle based importer. COME do m

Gees....Moser axles are certainly the goods.
Hate to ask, but exactly how much are you paying for this apparent monster?
Curious to know why the engine has a dual plane manifold....if it is a genuine stroker, it should produce heaps of power down low, o
