[DeTomaso] stroker kit????

[Brian]

Larry,
   I built a 393 stroker from a 351w block, 351w stock length rods, a set of 
302 pistons and a 3.85 stroke crank. I would imagine you could do the same 
for the 351c. I don't know the cleveland so do some research on this. the 
only thing I purchased was the crank from scat. all of the rest of the parts 
were used from what I already had laying around the house. I did have to 
grind some spots around the bottom of the cylinders and the inside of the 
oil pan edge of the block. It was very simple and only cost me about $600 
total. This was about 6 or 7 years ago on a mastang that I used for a street 
and strip car.
