There's a very finely tooled multi-Stromberg setup in this, usually available pretty cheap on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDO Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Cool. I'll get one. Bonus question: Real world, is there a stroker kit for these early Caddy engines? IIRC, there was mention a 441ci Caddy in Hot Rod magazine not so long ago. Something about it being built for a guy who never picked it up. Wondering if that was the early engine or the '63 and later one. It's for Revell's '29 Roadster on Deuce rails. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stroke just about any engine the old-school way, by welding up the rod journals and re-grinding them with their centers farther from the crank centerline. OR...you can machine a custom "stroker" crank from billet. That's the way it was done before everything was ordered from catalogs. NOTE: The 354 displacement of this kit was never offered from the factory. It's been running with the wrong displacement on the package since the '60s. It's actually a bored 331.
