Since I was last active, Kennedy was the king of rebuilds, Vito's was the way to go, Hotrods was crap, and LA Sleeve was not really on anyone's map. Apparently this world has changed quite a bit so I've found myself back at the bottom of the information totem pole, and out of the loop regarding who's making good products and performing good work on rebuilds/porting/other modifications. So..hopefully this place is still active enough to get some good up-to-date info;
I know this is the Engine section, but I may as well throw the questions out there..
Looking at getting my build back on track toward the end of this summer if I can successfully source the parts and the labor I need. Thank you guys for any help you provide.
- 3mm Stroker Crank; Best brand, any case trenching req'd?
- Used 240 Kit; Best place to send to for proper porting/milling? Is Ken O'Connor still active? I have a 240 cylinder, but it's in need of a bore I believe. LA Sleeve doesn't seem to supply a kit for the Blaster any longer?
- Piston of Choice?; Rumor says Vito's piston quality for the 240 jug is crap now..is Wiseco still in the game, and are there different compression ratios to consider? Any other brands?

- Best place to source extended swingarms these days?
- Best place to find a widening kit for the front A-Arms? Is that still a thing?
- Suggestions on where to get new wheel bearings? Probably just a dealer, figured I'd check.
