G-Force valve springs, titanium retainers.
At the moment I'll probably use the stock intake if the motor is ready quickly. If time permits I planned on fabricating my own intake & integrating a rear facing fresh air shaker scoop drawing from the base of the windshield.
Thanks, Hammer

Just got back from vacation & went back to work on the build up. More pics:
1.You can see where I flycut the valve reliefs deeper so I can play with different cams without danger of interference.
2.You can see where I had to remove material from the piston skirts where the crank counterweights were making contact.
3.Mounted on the Carrillo rod before install. It may be hard to see but I'm using Total Seal 'gapless' rings - notice the 2nd ring rail bridging the gap to provide the 'gapless' aspect.
No sense in boring anybody with pics of me slipping the pistons in. I'll be doing more in the next few days. Man I live for this!

Wow I didn't realize how far I had to shrink the pics to fit them in. Sorry, I guess it's all kinda hard to see.

Hammer,
With a stroker crank, the stock connecting rods will turn a bigger angle on the small end and by shortening the rod won't this worsen the problem? By lengthening the rod the angle is less and there is less contact with the piston and the small end bearing rotates less.
Thanks

I don't know what you mean by "less contact with the piston". The rod never "contacts" the piston except where they are joined by the pin.

Hi Marc,
Although your comment was in someone else's thread I did see it. Here's a pic of the 968 valves sitting in the eyebrows I machined. You must have really good eyes to tell if the machine work was off!
