The Romac harmonic balancer accepts either 3 or 4 bolt crankshaft pulleys

Many have commented on the suitability of aluminum heads for Tiger application, as they are ALL thicker than the stock iron heads. Even the TIGER LAT valve covers have their fins removed where the firewall gets close. I have used three different brands of Alum heads all w/ the TIGER valve covers and have not bashed the firewall.

One of the pictures in this article (Easter Egg Hunt Time), has a "trick" valve cover / firewall access mod., It is simple. Best of all, it fits a 260 CID, as well!!

With a stroker or any other engine..especially if you are trying to utilize non-stock fans and/or radiators it is important to use the correct motor mounts and to get the engine pushed back as far as possible. The larger "stepped" header pipes require 5/8" sparkplugs, as do the heads. It is important to use the plugs the heads were designed for as to reach, projected, non-projected ect. They are all different.
