Default 2 quick questions

1. If I were to stroke to a 4.3 or 4.4L, I would need new cylinder heads, right?

2. Someone posted a link to the Mad racing seats page, but I can't find it. Anyone know what it is? Like, the actual site.

Why would you have to change the heads? You could if you wanted bigger valves and get some that's ported but you wouldn't have to. Personally I would though, I would want the best flow possible and if you go to the expence of stroking for more power then I would want better heads too.

I dunno, I just read somwhere that I'd need new heads. I think. I couldn't see a reason, either.

Oh, and I'm gonna port the heads and intake along with the stroke.

And I wanna stroke to a 4.3 or 4.4 with a kit so I get the stronger internals with it. Plus I still keep my engine.

Why would you even consider keeping stock heads on a stroked motor anyway? It seems pointless. For as much as it cost to do, you might as well P&P the heads and intake or you'll see very little power gains for the stroker kit.

Oh, that's what I meant. I was just wondering if I needed to get 4.2 or whatever specific heads. Either way I was gonna port the heads and intake.

Oh, and anyone on the Mad racing seats?
