    I wanted to do a stroker too. Went turbo, my jimmies have never been faster. When I was reaearching, the bottom line was that you can piece together your own stroker like jc said for much less. The big thing that turned me away from an NA build is the extra wear and stress at 7200 rpm+ The piston/valve clearance that some people goof up on with a 288+ cam, and the quality portwork and header design required to optimize the system. Dont get me wrong, if i had 15k to spend on an engine build I would make an NA monster. Id guess that andys engine cost about 6k and has some nice top end pull. What im trying to say is give me a call when you decide to do a snail

Yeah, I believe that's Copart.  I've tried calling but they don't let you pick the yard.   If anyone else knows of anything anywhere around southern wisconsin let me know where you all go!  Thanks

    I made a e21 one pc airdam bumper unit back in the eighties based on the old Hartge design but molded a bumper shell into it. Sold those to a bunch of racers. I'm a fiberglass moldmaker by trade, ao yes I can help you with the mold and first few parts if you want.

    here's with the DS1s and adapters. [image: C0D7JN6.jpg] i actually bought the 16x8 et23 style 5's from an e38 to fit with the adapters, but they stick out way too far for any e30. you have to run silly stretched tires.

    A few bottomside pics and the engine bay. Kinda looks like the coolant resivor is leaking. Is that a known issue?
