No not messed up just not gettin as technical and yes we both mean .030. Dont take this personal but try decaf, you wont get on edge as much! LOL! You are right none the less, the correct way to communicate that measure is in fact .030.
Let me ask you this... What modifications would i need if any to use a head from a high output motor? Seems to me the only difference in the " low output " and the high output are the heads. I know it is recommended to use the later model heads when building a stroker.

Things will be at a stand still on the motor untill i get to indiana. I did however fabricate a bracket for my passenger seat to fit in my jeep. I got some bucket seats out off a 1998 chrysler sebring. Dark gray vinyl looks pretty good so far might have to take the seat hight down a little but hey its custom. I'll try and remember pics

Going to get a set of dana 44 axles out of a waggy in the morning and scoop up a head and injector harness from a high output jeep. Is there anything else i might need to take home from the high output ?

I want to do rollers because i will eventually be installing a turbo down the the road but thats after i get all the sensors and computer mapping done. I want to make sure that i have my six covered for the installment of the turbo, rollers will help alot with the boost/gains. Dragsters want less weight - I want less friction with my setup to sustain a higher RPM at longer durations.
What were some of the problems you experienced and or why do you think an overhaul is bad? Just want some insight, like i said I'm all ears.
