I'm seriously debating the +3 crank install, can anyone give a little heads up on what I need to buy and what I need to make sure I have for the install? I searched the forums and couldn't find anything. Thanks guys
New Crank Install

yup, its all in the kit. You might need to hand file a little around the opening in the case to make sure it rotates freely, but thats really easy. The biggest thing you are going to need is a port job to match the ports to the stroker crank. Otherwise you wont get nearly the power you should.
Oh yeah, your also going to need to either make or buy some tools to split the cases and to pull the crank through (its an interference fit).
If you install a stroker crank +3mm, or a +4mm crank, and you use the hardware that is supplied. Like the spacer plate and two gaskets, you will loose power from the bottom to the peak. Using a 60mm crank( +3 ) the total transfer port timing is 138, and the engine will lay down. I would suggest that you think about other mods before a crank, unless you would like to spend the money to have someone set up the engine for the 3mm/4mm
If the builder you choose set ups the engine with a spacer plate, the trans timing will be way off.

so what would you do if you dont wanna use that crappy plate to line up the ports, do you just have a builder match your cylinder ports for a 60mm crank?
and as for the clearance issue, do you just file the case opening where the rod comes through where ever the rod passes during the crank rotation?
Well I've been wanting to get it ported as well, so I figured I'd go with the crank, and then have it ported to match if that sounds good? Cause wildcard is about an hour and a half away from my house, and right on the way to the dunes, so I figured that might be the way to go. What do you guys think?
