Tim,
You can build your own stroker and the instructions to duplicate mine
are on the Tigers united web site (Lunati Stroker article @
www.tigerunited.com <http://www.tigerunited.com/> ). I have around
$4200 in it and it made around 360HP and 395 lb ft (with 15% drive train
losses that gives roughly 424 HP and 465 lb ft) at the wheels under 6000
RPM at Superior Automotive in Anaheim. This was with a Hydraulic roller
(No valve adjusting) and the low RPM performer intake required to get it
under the hood of a Tiger (Many of the other claimed crate motors use
single plane hi rise manifolds and they will not work for you and still
close a hood). If I was to do it today I would use the RPM Air Gap
manifold. If you want to cut the hood they you could find probably
another 20HP with a high rise type manifold like a Victor or a Victor
Junior. I also used the TFS twisted wedge heads I got from Theo when I
was still in Canada. I did some minor porting but for the most part they
were untouched.
Motor is now 5 years and 10,000 miles old and I beat the liven crap out
of it and not so much as cracked a valve cover :-) (touch wood),
Tim, If you want the dyno chart from superior send me a note and I will
email it.
