    Why did you de-stroke it? Just curious.

    I am in the same boat; I plan to fire my new one up this weekend. Was supposed to be last weekend, but things didn't work out...

    It seems everybody is doing the 347 or 331 stroker. I just wanted to do something different. And I don't think there are too many roller block 289 running around.
