The stroker kit from 440 Source includes H-beam rods, platinum series pistons, Chevy size H series rod bearings, and a 1/4" main girdle setup. The engine's performance is further enhanced by Harland Sharp 1.5 roller rockers, an SFI fluid damper, and a high torque mini starter. Fuel is fed through a Quickfuel 1050 AN carburetor with a mechanical secondary, and ignition is precisely managed by an MSD Digital 6AL with a limiter.
The powertrain is completed with a CRT Racing-built 727 transmission featuring a full manual reverse shifter, a Hughes 4000 stall converter, and a Denny's nitrous-ready driveshaft. The truck's exhaust system is optimized for performance with TTI 2" ceramic coated headers, 3.5" collectors, and Dynomax mufflers. Cooling is efficiently handled by a Meziere electric water pump, Derale electric dual fans, and an aluminum radiator, ensuring that this engine runs as cool as it is powerful.
The exterior is complemented by custom lightweight Center Line wheels, with M/T Sportsman Pros 26x7.5x15 on the front and Hoosier Quick Time Pros 29x14.5x15 on the rear. The truck sits lowered on both ends with roll pans and features a modified fiberglass R/T hood with larger scoops and a ram air system.
