how to tell if you have a stroker?

Is it a "V belt or a serpentine setup?

His previous picture showed a serpentine belt.

when checking hte compression, is there going to be a large difference from stock?

i can see the marks around the edges of hte block where the old headgasket sat so it wasn't milled down to lower the compression any like that write ups say to do on here. not sure what that will do but what would the compression ratio be if a person put an engine together like this and didn;t mill the block?

[superj]

sorry, not lower the copmression. the block wasn;t milled to raise the compression. i would imagine the compression is lower then a normal stroker or even a normal engine. unless the ehad was milled down but do people do that?

Ok, everyone saw the thread on compression? All high numbers and with 7 or so percent of each other. I see the fsm says the compression should be 120-150 and mine is above that
