Agro-1,
You asked about a shop in Orange, CA ; I presume. If you're in that area, I recommend stopping by HOC, they do lots of SPF's and have a full engine shop that does lots of stroked windsors. You won't need anything other than a good milodon or canton
oil pan with baffling, and a good windage tray that has been fitted to the crank. As for the stroker small blocks, they're great and don't suffer from any real lifespan problems (if put together right) compared to the alternatives. I think that the 408 and 418 stroker combos are the best, but that discussion could take weeks.
