I've heard good things about that engine, However he told me they only build them a couple of times a year.

If I were "building" a stroker motor, or any motor for that matter, my thoughts are kind of like for a neuro surgeon; when sombody operates on my spine I want someone who has done it about a 1,000 times before. That's why I have someone else build my motors and transmissions. Though I can build engines, and have done so before, I would really rather have someone with lots of experience doing it. That said: Daniel Watts at Oakhill builds an absolute awesome and reliable 2007 engine. And they have some internal secrets that they use.------------------------------------------------------------------------*From:* Steven and Lisa Scott <centraltexasautowerks@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:centraltexasautowerks@xxxxxxxxx>>*To:* tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Sat, April 28, 2012 12:36:10 PM *Subject:* [tcb] Re: Stroker pistons ?the piston crown to wrist pin height is 4.9 (or something) millimeters offset to compensate for the longer stroke crank.they are made this way, not done at a machine shop or anything. There are tons of variables to consider when building a stroker engine.if done mathmatically correctly a 2054cc (or any other combo) can be the same width as a 1600On Sat, Apr 28, 2012 at 12:08 PM, Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote:Yes?
