2332, 94 x 84, FK8, 1:4s, decent heads and about 10:1 would do.......... :mrgreen:

82 mm stroke use stock 5.34" length or 5.4 rods, 84 and 86 mm stroke use 5.5 rods. An FK 8 style cam very quick accelerating cam. Use the next size down cam for a little more aggressive bottom end. You can use smaller 40 x 35.5 valved heads for the 2180 but they will need to be welded and ported for best results. Bigger is better, these days a 88x 94 is pretty easy to assemble if you start with the right stuff. An Autolinea case is availiable premachined for 88x94 for around $680. A stroker 82-88 mm DPR crank is $340 to $400 and a Demellos full race 88 mm crank is $700. CB race rods with ARP 2000 bolts are $250. A Web Cam 86a (260 duration .507" lift) clearanced for a stroker cam and lifters are around $220. Steve Tims Stage 2 heads around $800 with intakes. CB has a nice dry sump oil pump for $110, they also have a inexpensive dry sump tank. AJ Sims 1.4 rockers $135. There are many more parts to buy but $4500-$5000 should cover purchasing all new parts including guages and an A/F ratio meter.

Yep, if you wanna sit on the porch.
But if you wanna run with the big dogs better go with a 1461 w/ drilled valves. :twisted:
