Heads to pistons
So I want to get my heads done from lloyd Elliot and im either going with the LE3 or the Trick flow ( http://elliottsportworks.com/?page_id=55 or http://elliottsportworks.com/?page_id=155 )...now my question is my motor has been stroked out already and the pistons are unkown as well as the rest of the assembly below...i was hoping someone could help direct me in what would be a good assembly. Im building an N/A motor trying to see what i can get out of it without having to go with s/c turbo or nitrous applications.

First off before you spend any more money. Figure out what parts you have. Crank, Rods, Pistons. Should have manufacture and part numbers stamped in them. IF you don't know who put the engine together take it to a machine shop. I have seen too many craigslist and used/assembled engines turn out to POS's once checked out. I have YET to see one not need at least another thousand dollars of work after purchase. Just my word of caution.
Check for what your parts actually are. (Most strokers need clearancing, look for parts ground down)
Look for signs of balancing. Welds and weights on the crank shaft.
Double check bolt and nut torques
I HIGHLY recommend you take it to a professional shop for a look over. SO many things could go wrong here.95 Impala SS Clone
