Thanks for the tip! I found the old post. Looks like they've gone up slightly on their price but still not bad. $425.00 for a set of the KB944s and $65 for KTM Molly rings.

If I'm correct I should be able to order these, use my stock 4.0L rods, and a 4.2L crank?
No block or head shaving required?

Yep, their price has gone up. Still cheaper than summit or 505 performance.

Opps.....sorry :doh:

Thanks for reposting. I'm still a newb to the stroker world so please forgive me.

Just for clarity sake, if I go with the KB944s I "should" be able to reuse my 4.0L rods and no dishing is required to these?

Yes you use the 4.0l rods and they come with at decent 9.5 to 1 compression ratio. No need to dish them.
