I agree with donovan, make sure it can drive down the road before you worry too much about a running motor. That being said, i have a stroker mototr and i love it, but make sure you are willing to spend the money! It is a lot more expensive than a L28ET that you can find for a few hundred. As far as the stroker crank, you dont have to order one from japan just find a ld28 crank. Nissan maxima had a diesel motor and the crank from that works perfectly.
