- After weeks of research and driving the living shit out of my engine with the blower and having more fun than i dreamed i would. My motor said FU! :>) but thats ok i wasnt expecting it to hold up forever.

The final descision was to run a DSS Racing LEVEL 20 Block setup for a blower. eheh :>) should be good to 675 HP under boosted conditions. Was it expensive HELL YES!

The D.S.S. PRO BULLET 331 SHORT BLOCK
Engineered to offer the perfect balance between race winning power and long term reliability. |
This engine is a great way to get Windsor power and torque without the expense of a 351 swap or the maintenance problems commonly associated with other stroker combinations. By using a 5.315” rod we are able to use a taller piston for increased stability, better ring seal and longer life. This custom piston also keeps the pin bore below the oil ring for proper oil control.
With its superior rod and piston design, excellent 1.63 rod ratio and an ideal ring package for power adders, the D.S.S. Pro BULLET 331 SHORT BLOCK is by far the best performing, longest lasting stroker short block on the market
Each D.S.S. PRO BULLET 331 Short Block begins with a with a race prepped block that has been deck squared and equalized, precision bored and honed with torque plates and fitted with the D.S.S. Stroker Main Support System and custom ARP main studs. This combination includes New PRO LITE forged stroker pistons available for most aftermarket heads, premium Sealed Power/ Speed-Pro moly rings and tri-metal bearings. We use Forged Steel 5.315” connecting rod with ARP bolts and a super strong, Cast Steel 3.25” stroke crank for the ultimate in strength and longevity. We offer optional compression ratios and cam and timing chain options, just tell us what you want and we’ll quote a combination for you. If you are looking for a stroker that makes 30 to 40 horsepower more than most larger stroker combinations and is equally at home on the street or strip, you need the bullet 331 short block.

My Experience Ordering a shortblock
After contacting Coast High Performance (remeber i am a Canadian) they sort of told me to take care of the freight charge and importing paperwork myself. I spent 4 hours calling differnt companies like ups etc trying to figure out how to get my engine to canada. DSS Racing calls me back up with a fright price included (except the gst) of only 250 bux (USD) landed to the international airport. WELL FOOKING EH that was enough of a reason to order from them.
The total cost of the Shortblock with freight was about 3100.00 (USD) very close to what my local engine builders quoted me 4,000 - 5,000 canadian. But now i am going to get a block thats 2 times the quality build by a professional racing company! with many upgraded parts.
Spend the time and contact both places they seem to offer competative pricing and both have a good reputation for performance engines.
My next large expense will be asembling it to a longblock and installing it in the car, I am guessing around 1,000 Canadian plus a set of Trick Flow Pushrods.
Stroker Engine Articles
What is a Stroker Motor?
A stroker motor is an engine that utilizes a different crank to achieve more displacement with the same engine block. An engine fitted with an altered crankshaft that has a larger stroke increases the engine's size without increasing the size of the block. Here are some normal stroker motors and their stock and aftermarket strokes.
Motor stock stroke Stroke & CID

350 3.48 3.75 = 383
