I was thinking lately alot about stroker for my 7 bolt. I followed a lot of threads on different boards on rod ratios, angles and all that other stuff. What if we could add as much deck as we want by machining a "plate" with dowels to keep it sealed and aligned. Machining of the block would be required too to take that plate in. I will post a CAD drawing later when I get home from work so you guys can see exactly what I mean.
Reason I thought of this is I don't really feel like buying 4g64 block and all misc. parts that are needed for a swap. I don't have a problem with it but I think it would be neat to add even more deck than those 6mm 4g64 offers. There would be no need to for custome pistons or rods if you want to use 64 crank in 63 block. Figure out how long rod you want to use and you're all set. So what you guys think? Would that have any problems sealing? Only other part you would need to find is longer timing belt.

There would be no welding required. I guess I need to get home earlier to post the CAD drawing so you know what I'm talking about. I know a very good machinist which I'm confident could machine plate and block to a very tight tolerance so it seals. If not, Cometic makes custom gaskets. I'll talk to him when I pick up my block from him.
