I'm going to be building a 331 stroker motor for my 88 gt. anybody have any suggestions on which block to use, i was planning on getting a used block and boring it out. Also, d.s.s. has a kit and c h p has a kit, which one to use?? I am going to have a trickflow stage 1 cam and twisted wedge cylinder heads on the new motor with my track heat upper and lower and 65 mm t-body. any suggestions would be great. thanks

I have heard nothing but good things about...

The Dart Block...
The D.S.S. Stroker kit. Ask Sirsureshot about this, he's got a DSS 331 and I bet its meaner than a lunchlady with PMS.

I like the DSS set up and the price is pretty reasonable.
