The combustion chambers in the head need to be cut 2mm deeper so the piston can recieve into them... If you go long rod 4mil you need Wiseco 795 series stroker pistons, so the piston skirts clear the crankshaft at BDC ( bottom dead center). DO NOT USE A SPACER PLATE!!! Have a reputable builder port your cyls. for the stroker. This is not a slap it together and run kind of thing.... You need a coolhead with stroker cut domes, a crankshaft, Wiseco 795 pistons (if you go long-rod), porting for the stroker, all new gaskets and seals, then there are the supporting mods, adjustable timing plate, shifting mods (modded shift-shaft, modded shift star, bearing upgrade for the detent arm), cut trans, Pingle high-flow petcock, reeds, intakes, pipes, etc.etc.... I have gone down this road over this winter and have about $2000 give or take invested into building my 4mil long-rod...
