You could probably get a complete Lightning used engine for that price!

And that guy has no idea what hes talking about.
Everything,,,and I mean everything will interchange between the L motor and your motor!

phil that's a great deal

fnnrNArnner74 I'd suggest finding a new mechanic who's not so clueless

as Phil said the stroker cranks add more stroke and more stress on the piston skirt and you can make plenty of power on a stock stroke 5.4
