I am looking into building my first stroker, but i need some advise on where to buy my parts.
I live in Norway, so I need to buy these parts online because it is very hard to get these localy.
What do you guys think fo this kit? http://www.titanengines.com/index.php?m ... s_id=26462
I have read around here that Titan don't have the best reputation on buildt engines, but is the parts the same story?
I can just buy everything from summitracing, but that will cost me a lot more..
What do you think?
And what kind of stroker do you recomend 4.5,4.6, or 4.7?
Need help!! What parts?

Re: Need help!! What parts?
If something seems too good to be true, it usually is and that long list of parts from Titan for a mere $450 tells me that they're selling cheap crap.
I know it'll cost a lot more to buy the necessary parts from Summit Racing but at least you'll be buying good quality, brand name parts so it's worth it.
I'd recommend a 4.6 stroker. The 4.0L block you'll be using is likely to be old enough for the cylinders to be slightly out-of-round or tapered, so it's better to rebore/hone them to get good piston ring seal. A 30 thou overbore (4.6L) leaves enough thickness in the cylinder walls for another rebore. If you do a 60 thou overbore (4.7L) and the cylinder walls are damaged for whatever reason later on, you'll be looking for a replacement block.
