Also what do you think of the manley pistons?

Nick, I can't comment on whether those pistons are right or wrong for that application since I never use Manley pistons. I have no idea if they have the skirts right for that app or not but I use their valvetrain stuff a lot though and it's very nice. It's an engineering and knowledge problem and not a quality problem.
I use a different rod length and piston and have never had any issues with my bigger stroker stuff in the regular blocks. I have been doing it for 7 years and now a few people are copying what I did. Most of the aftermarket kit's I have seen are wrong though and had issues at least in the recent past on anything over 4.000 stroke.
