Is it worth it?

[ajwill]

Okay heres the deal I need a new motor, threw a rod. Now I can't decied which short block to chose. My question is for those who have either the 2.2 Stroker or other built blocks, What kind of numbers{hp/torq/times} did you have versus stock? Also is it worth extra $500 for the stroker? Any help is greatly apreciated. In your post please let me know which block you have{howell,rpm,vt,slowboy} and if its a stroker or not.


Thanks

Sorry!!! I have a 97 GS with the 420a.

why dont u use the old block and build a turbo motor. get a new gs motor already built incase you blow up the turbo one

I don't think the old block has much use since when I threw the rod it punched through the block and old pan.
