Destroyed Motor, looking at new setup
Well I overheated my motor multiple times yesterday trying to go to the track then trying to get back home. Well I get home and pressure test the thing and it has a cracked timing cover and all the gaskets leak. So I'm going to park it for now.
I have a buddy who owns a performance shop and he got me a quote on a rotating assembly and heads. For the scat 331 stroker with srp forged pistons its $900 and for brodix heads its $1150. These are the brodix heads with 2.02 intake valves. I think with this setup with a cam designed for the setup and a victor jr carb manifold I won't have a problem hitting 350rwhp. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do for a block, I might go to the junkyard or I might fork over the $500 for a new oem block. What do you guys think?

sry to hear zach, y dont you look at a ford racing short block they make 331 and 347 stroker short blocks. if that scat rotating ***... your looking at is all forged then its pointless to put that in a junk stock block.

RE: Destroyed Motor, looking at new setup
The reason I'm looking at the scat setup is because I can get it for cheap. The ford racing short blocks would cost double what I would pay after buying the stroker assembly and having it put together. Rod doesn't get a big discount on ford racing, only about $200 off the short block so I'm going by what would be cost effective right now. The srp pistons have large valve reliefs and with a 60cc head would put me at about 10.5:1 compression.

sounds good to me, if i was you i would look at a few diff short block and get prices on the machine work for your motor and add it all up and see what comes out the cheapest.

RE: Destroyed Motor, looking at new setup
The guy I'm going through has all the engine machining equipment in his shop. He's only going to charge me for boring the block, magnefluxing it if I get a used one and cleaing. He will assemble and balance it for free. I'm probably looking about 1800 at most for the short block if I buy a new block. I don't think I can beat that.

Summit sells them, ford racing sells them as well I believe.
