Performance parts suggestions
Hey Guys,
As most of you know I have been offering a 4.00” Billet Stroker crank for both 350 gas blocks as well as DX’s for a few years now. Average selling price was approx $2100.00. They’ve done well but I’m always striving to make things better.
So now I’m working on being able to offer a FORGED 4.00” stroke gas block crank with all the same features as the original billets but for a more competitive sale price of around $1200.00. Any interest? I believe this revision makes more sense than the original billets. I’ll still offer the billets for the D/DX blocks as those blocks make better use the stronger crank. However gas blocks are less durable, so a more appropriated strength crank makes more sense in my opinion
Let me know your thoughts and level of interest if you would please.
Thanks.

Try to make a plan before you start buying parts, it will save money in the long term.
Cutlassefi on here is a great person to provide a cam that will suit your realistic needs. I have purchased multiple items from him and am 100% satisfied.
Most of all enjoy the journey... Cheers

X2 on talking with Mark, he will have some nice pistons and rods for the top end kit you got, what cam came with your kit if you dont mind sharing?

X3 on Mark. You need smaller dish pistons obviously. Better pistons and rods is a good idea but not cheap all by itself. You will also need a good machine shop familiar with Olds V8's. The BBO needs high quality machine work with proper clearances or expect a failed engine.

Edelbrock should offer a roller cam package with the heads, intake and gaskets now that they are in the same group as Comp Cams. Cost can snow ball in a hurry but new pistons and machine work are necessary with the 77cc heads with a 224/234 cam with 8 to 1 compression. Also realize a higher stall torque converter will be needed.
