Stroker motor, no mods needed? Yeah right!

I was looking at some pixs on my puter and remembered I had a bone to pick.
Canton makes a main stud gridle (351W) that according to them requires no machining, even for stroker motors, bolts right in.

Now, while this might be true for a stock crank and some aftermarket oil pump, it's not true for a stroker motor.

Oil pump, one main bolt, gridle and windage tray all had to be modified to work.

Here are a few pix of my last rebuild, the mods were made two years ago.

All mods made at home, so if I can do it you can too!

P.S. the wording in the oil pump picture should have read "wouldn't" sorry for the mis-spelling.

 

Couple more pixs

I hope this will help if someone else it thinking about this mod.

i noticed that on my girdle did you have to drill hole in it or notch it

 

is this your new engine terry?

you should know if it says it will fit , it probley wont

 

jmgford, thanks for the info, now people know that the CHP/Probe is a better way with less mods.

New old engine Eddie.

Not much has changed, fresh set of bearings, rocker arm girdle, electric water pump for the street and a nice new chrome one wire alt.

Some new engine bay paint, new Mickey Sportsman tires front and rear, (for the street) still have my old new Mickeys from 2 years ago for the track.

I almost forgot, new scoop badges and gas cap see pix attached

I love the Gas Cap
