lo
can you explain to me what I would need to do to the block, crank, heads, rods to run this crank?
I want to build a stroker but seem to get mixed opinions.
Thanks!!!

The stroked engines typically require a stroker crankshaft plus connecting rods and pistons which are "stroker applicable" (OEM 460 rods and pistons are not usually selected). Then just bore the block and put it all in like any other rotating assembly. The block does not require any crankcase clearancing, if that's what your asking.
For example, with this crankshaft you could add a 6.7 or 6.8 connecting rod and aftermarket piston (plus the usual rings, bearings, balancing, gaskets, etc), then just bore the block and install the rotating assembly. Depending what you are building, cam, head work, etc, is upgraded as deemed necessary for the engine build (like any other performance engine, stroked or not) but generally this crankshaft bolts in like any other.
Please call with any further questions and I'll be happy to answer them.
