Is that stroker motor based off a 350 or 400 block?

Sounds like the A-2 408 from T@L Engines. How's that motor working out for You? My A-1 408 made 505 hp and will be hear Monday.

288/294 duration. I'd suggest a stall speed around 3600-3800.

Yeah, They're a pretty busy shop but they shouldn't promise anything. I was told 6-8 weeks but it actually took almost 5 months. But I finally got my motor and it I hope it was worth the wait!
