Re: [Amc-list] 195.6 OHV Progress

Sounds like good news!
 I have a guy who wants a set of standard bore pistons from one of my 4.0L shortblocks to build a budget stroker.
His machine shop broke a couple of his.
If I can stand the pain I may use this as an excuse to tear both apart and see if I can build a budget stroker from the remainder. 
  If I have a solid straight block from the pair and a good set of pistons it will not take much to assemble one.
