What's your best parts source for SBF parts?
I'm building up a 351W based stroker from scratch and need just about every part imaginable. I'm doing shopping at Summit and Fortes since Summit seems quite a bit cheaper then Jegs. What other good parts sources are out there for SBF parts that you use?

Use a Google search for every major part by part number. You'll find that many parts are within a few dollars at every vendor, but once in a while you'll find something here or there that is worth separate order, shipping fees, etc. I just split an order between Summit and JEGS because the latter had two or three key parts in stock where Summit wanted three weeks for backorder. It was worth another $10 shipping charge to get the parts sooner.
The search by part number uncovers things - I often find smaller parts "hidden" on vendor sites using this method. Sometimes they're hidden bargains. |
I've used ADPerformance.com for stroker rotating assembly and got great service and great prices. Really quick shipping and answered all my questions without a single hiccup.
Summit and Jegs have also been great resources for other parts , but if you check your local Schucks/Kragen auto parts store, they will usually match prices and have a lot of the same pieces in stock or can get them quicker than waiting on back orders. Bob |
When I was researching my build I picked up a PAW catalog. Perfomance Automotive Warehouse. The book is huge, or was... Are they still around? Hawaii Racing in Simi Valley, CA are a good source also. They usually also have a number of built short blocks on the floor of different configurations. Give em a call. Like a lot of auto parts houses that call themselves "Performance" they both have ahole knowitalls behind the counter, but a couple of good guys also. You may have to ask to talk to the ass so you can remember his name & ask for someone else.

Try this guy, I've heard he knows a "little bit" about SBFs.......:LOL::LOL:
http://www.keithcraft.com/index.htm I've bought 2 stroker kits from him and his prices were very competitive with Summit/Jegs and others and the quality of his parts is second to none, plus great tech support.............. David |
BB&T Racing in Southaven Mississippi... 601-280-7600 or 7601 - speak with Derek, and he'll hook you up.
http://www.bbandtracing.com/ Great prices and service:D! I got most of my new 351w parts from him. |

Define "best".
Cost? Integrity? Component Quality? |
C'mon Mark.
We all know that those last two are not useful qualities in the marketplace today... :) Sometimes I simply cannot avoid lighting a few fires.... |
