Re: my head swimming and confussed
[quote="rhiasdaddy"]first thanks to every one on here you all are good bunch of eggs . i understand that building a motor and what goes into it is almost a sceince with a whole lot of thought behind it . but for the first time in my 38 years i am completly lost .i have been around mechanics and motors my whole life .but i truely dont understand .what makes a bbc a stroker motor or what is a stroker motor ? Any motor that you install a longer stroke crankshaft than was originally in the block makes it a stroker motor.are short connecting rods better than long ones , There are many arguments about that, in a bracket motor use the one that fits in the combination you are working on the best.are domes better than flat tops The less dome to get in the way of the flame front and still give the desired compression the better and cams do want a cam that opens really wide or what Your cam will have to be matched to the RPM range and desired use of the engine, that will determine the lift and duration along with the lifter type. i dont mean to be askin alot of stupid stuff on here i just want to make a good decesions before spendin alot of money on my motor . and how does torqe factor into all of this ?do want awhole bunch of it or what ? thanks again rick
Rick, just my 2 cents which is probably more than it is worth.
