Looking to build a 2270. I know I know get a Jake kit.
I'm a bit of a rebel and want to go at it myself.
Stroker crank 78mm what else is needed.

is a longer cylinder need for the stroke
longer rods should I go chevy or type 4 rod journals
thinking about doing larger intake valves on the heads and using 40mm Webers

Being a Rebel is sometimes not cost effective and its hard to justify if it costs MORE money to get a lesser result.

We sell all the parts individually that make up the kits, except the camshafts... The benefit of a kit if full balance work and the possibility of us prepping the parts for you and the fact that all parts come clearanced ready to drop right in.

The carbs you are going to use are too small to produce a broad powerband at 2270cc, you'll be stuck with a 5,000 RPM operating range.

I created my kits because people complained about HAVING to be a "Rebel" with a performance TIV build, I never would have guessed that people would ever want to revert back to the pre millenium days..

It's impossible to equal the standard performance of any of our kits (especially the 2270) by doing a piece meal combination and do so for the same or less money. Most people don't understand exactly what they get with a kit until they receive and inventory the parts- they are always amazed.

You can always grab my RAT 2036 crank, 3030 rods, 9500 cam, 6012 P/C kit and LE 190 heads and build from there, but to do the job as thoroughly as possible the kit is the most cost effective and wisest decision.

we offer the average Joe the opportunity to create an engine with the end result exacting a professionally configured and assembled unit- thats because these kits are passed down from my engine shop with known tuning, power ratings and etc. You can rest assured that we can offer component recommendations that are compatible with the combination because EVERY kit (while it was in the engine shop as a custom offering) saw tests with most every sub component available..

This isn't just a box of parts and it really isn't a kit. Its an unassembled engine.

Let us know if we can help in any way, I'll match the cost of any retail part you can find online. (must be the exact same component and not offered as a special from our competitors.)
