Okay this is what i got; Eagle 393 stroker kit, h beam rods, hyper pistons and rpm air gap intake, oh and 89 truck heads may have gt 40 if i need to, anyway this engine is going to be used in a marine application in a very heavy boat the problem is I dont know what kind of cam to use. Any help would be appreciated! Also will I have clearence issues with piston skirt to crank issues?

I would guess that you need a cam that gives torque early, like an rv/towing cam. I doubt you will have any piston clearance issues if you got the pistons that are correct for the crank.

Oh, and welcome to the Iowa Chapter!

393 stroker

Thank you, and I did a little more research and decided to go with Lunati's 61002 cam. I think its really going to work well for my application and the price wasnt bad. I got the cam and lifters for a little over 210.00 bucs. I'll keep you guys posted on the build. I have to take my Eagle rotating assembly to get balanced today and that also is going to set me back a easy 200.00!
