Well Fordstrokers called May 10th and said my motor would be here the next week. I got a call and email yesterday saying they just started it. I asked for proof of life and here's what I got. They promised to ship it next Tuesday but now I asked them to delay shipping a week since I don't have the room at the moment. I'm starting to think I should have just hired Nick to do all the work, but I REALLY want a "Built not Bought" sticker on it! You can't see it from the pix, but inside there is:

I wanted performance AND durability. Yeah, I know, a 351 might have done just as well, but I wanted a stroker to bring up the torque, yet not be a torque monster like a 408.
