Welcome to Stroker Engine. My name is John Nijssen aka Stroker John

Look over there at side bar

I do not sell engines, I build engines, mostly street strip combinations, both lower cost "budget" motors and for maximum monster power makers.

I am a small operation specializing powerful street V8 engines to meet specific needs, either massive low speed torque or upper RPM horsepower.

I don't try to sell you what I like, but rather you and I figure out what you really need for power and price.

You can contact me directly by calling my cell 760-508-4562 8am to 8pm California. If I don't answer it is because I didn't hear the phone ring, try again.

Or you can write to me at strokerengine@hotmail.com or use my comments and questions page Click here.

I only build V8 engines Chevrolet Chrysler Ford Pontiac.

Resent combinations include:-
Chevrolet 540 660 Torque @ 3000rpm 710 @ 5000rpm & 711Hp @ 5500rpm
Blown 525 Dodge 825 Tq @ 4500rpm & 850Hp
Ford 552 705 Tq @ 4400 & 675 @ 5500rpm

In progress
427 Clevor with F2 Procharger expect 1100Hp
427 SBC expect 675
415 LS3 expect 640Hp Got 635 @ 6100rpm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LgStLUvyqM&feature=plcp
496 Ford FE expect 650Hp
463 Windsor expect 600Tq for truck
760 BBC expect 950Tq

I do build LS Chevrolet motors but don't advertise combinations any more.

I started out in this field as an apprentice automotive machinist in New Zealand in 1977. I graduated first in my class 1980 and moved to the USA in 1982.
I worked in various machine shops for many years until 2001 when I decided to start building custom high performance engines for those who where looking for something more than the GM crate engine combination, or the Edelbrock heads type motors that were widely sold.
I'm not saying anything against these engines, only that for about the same price I can provide more power because I don't need to add on as much profit to cover my overhead.

I do not keep motors "on the shelf" waiting for an owner. There are too many possible combinations, and I'm yet to build 2 motors exactly the same, except for the line of industrial natural gas and propane V8 truck bus and pump motors I developed.

I'm not a parts store. If you live overseas I can match usually match or beat Summit and Jegs prices, but I'm of most help to you in arranging importation.
If you are in the US I can get you better pricing on cranks and rods and pistons and AFR heads and balanced crank kits, but if you need a carburetor or plug wires my price is about the same as Summit Racing.

The engines I build usually cost a little less than many larger other online companies, but if you are looking for the very lowest price, try ebay.

I like helping people and talking high performance engines. If you write or call I will answer your questions as best I can, but keep in mind I am busy building motors.
Please don't ask me to solve problems with a motor your purchase from another engine builder, that's just not right.

I do promote the use of AFR heads as being the best choice, but I do use many brands like CHI Yates and Kasse. I like Procharger as a great wat to hide a supercharger and Whipple to destroy tires, but also use Vortech and Hampton for GMC Roots style blowers.

I mostly build small and big block Chevys and the newer LS sytle engines.
383s are still the most popular but I can build small block Chevys 427 and 434 when using the Dart SHP block.
Using a Dart block the 590 combination works very well, but it can be pushed up to 660cid if you have the need.I sold the last 772cid monster.

In Ford I do the 302 block as 331 or 347, like everyone else.
With a Windsor the 408 and 418 work very well.
If you want more torque this block will go 427 and 434. If we step up and use a Dart block 467 is about the limit. I made 711Hp at 6400rpm with a Yates Wedge cut head on a 463 Clevor.

The AFR just brought out a 385cc BBC head if you want to build something massive.

The 460 block works well as a 545 and with the Kaase P51 heads makes an effortless 600hp.

I do Chrysler 440 based motors up to 550cid but recommend 520cid as more re3liable, and I do some Pontiac engines

I build motors with blowers, GMC roots, Screw Compressors and Prochargers.

I also do 590s and 632 BBC to run on LPG or CNG. My buddy has pulled 75,000lbs with a 632 in a big rig on LPG/propane using Dart 8.1L heads making 880Tq at 2500rpm.clock

MY MISSION STATEMENT

johnbuilderms.jpg picture by johnnijssen

I want to provide the best deals I can on high performance domestic stroker engines.
I enjoy working on high performance engines and believe buying a hot rod engine should be fun.
I will work with you to develop the engine YOU want and can afford.

We use both high dollar top quality American made parts, and also selectively the less expensive imported crankshafts and rods.
You can choose either to build the strongest motor possible, or a less expensive, but still more than strong enough to live a long time.

I provide engines built with the same quality that I would use in my own application.
My philosophy is to put the client first and make money second.

My focus has shifted to suppling engines internationally, as I believe this is where I can provide the greatest savings in cost and service

WARNING

Replacing an engine with a more powerful StrokerEngine may require increasing the strength of related components,such as the transmission, u-joints, driveshaft, differential and axles.

It may also be a good idea to improve the brakes and if you add enough extra power, you may need to stiffen the chassis frame rails.

Traction may become a problem.
Slicks increase stress, where as smoking street tires ease this load on the power train.

Long duration camshafts may require a higher stall torque converter, and high compression ratios will require racing gas or octane boasters.
Be sure you plan your engine combination carefully.

High compression ratios, long duration camshafts high speed torque converters work well when racing, but can just waste gas, and be a pain to drive in stop and go commuting to work traffic.
A modestly powerful engine maybe all you need.

The Only Streetable Aluminum Rod

Urban legends abound in the gearhead community. One is: aluminum connecting rods don't work in street engines. Prior to the mid-'70s, that might have been true, however, introduction of the Bill Miller Engineering Forged Aluminum Connecting Rod in 1975 provided an exception to that myth.

The BME Rod has great durability in high-end, high-power, street/strip or hot street engines because it is die-forged, rather than cut out of a plate. Bill Miller Engineering's unique, aluminum alloy further enhances fatigue strength such that the durability of BME Rod rivals that of many forged steel rods and exceeds that of a few.

About 20 years ago, a few resourceful engine builders, led by H-O Racing's, Ken Crocie, began using BME Rods in very-high-performance street engines. Crocie, a racing and street/strip Pontiac V8 specialist, faced with a shortage of acceptable steel rods for Pontiacs, began to use BME Aluminum Rods. While a few other engine builders followed Crocie's lead, admittedly, use of the Bill MIller Engineering Rod in street engines has not been widespread, but that's only because of its higher cost and the stubborn belief that any aluminum rod is unsuitable for street use.

"In a street application, using the aluminum rod is a no brainer,"BME President, Bill Miller, recently said in an interview with an automotive magazine. "I don't know how the myth that aluminum rods can't be used on the street got started, but I'll guess that, back in the 60s and early-70s, they weren't making them using the process we're using, today. With the material we've got and they way we manufacture the connecting rods, they'll live a couple hundred thousand miles on the street because a street application is, for the most part, low load. Our basic Aluminum Rod is made for 10,000 rpm and 800-hp. The design criteria for the connecting rod is way overkill for what it's going see on the street. We been running aluminum rods on the street for 20 years."

Why are you using low performance water in your high performance motor?
I hope you are using best oil you can get, so shouldn't you use the best coolant you can find?
Well here it is

Never worry about over heating again, in fact you want you motor to run hot as it will make more power that way.
And by the way, no more rusting of the block.

Evans Waterless Coolants are the ONLY 100% waterless automotive engine coolant available on the market. All Evans Waterless Coolants are a chemical blend that results in more efficient cooling due to a higher boiling point. The increased boiling point of the coolant eliminates the occurance of boil over, cavitation, and detonation. Not only do Evans Waterless Coolants not boil over,they do not freeze. At extreme cold temperatures the coolants contract and become extremely thick, not becoming solid and expanding like antifreeze containing water. Because Evans Waterless Coolants do not contain water electrolysis and corrosion are also eliminated. Every Evans Waterless Coolant requires the entire cooling system to be drained (radiator, engine block and heater core) and refilled 100% with one of the Evans Waterless Coolants. No need to add anything. Evans now has three different coolants to choose from depending on the application and use of your specific vehicle. Also available is a flush fluid for smaller engines without block drains.

Evans High Performance Coolant combines the benefits of Evans NPG+ and NPGR. NPG+^c provides superior cooling protection for all gasoline and light duty diesel engines, including marine and light aircraft. In conditions ranging from -40˚ to 375˚F. High Performance Coolant provides cooling protection through constant liquid coolant contact with engine metals. Eliminates water-causing corrosion, electrolysis and cavitation. One successful installation provides cooling protection for the life-time of the engine, reducing maintenance time and expense.

Specifications:

Stainless steel deflector plate
oil filler cap with grommet, and steel spreaders
This product specifies 7/32 inch gasket, and maximum tightening torque of 3 foot pounds
proprietary stainless steel deflector plate

At idle, oil gurgles above rockers showing complete valve train movement.
Oil sheets off valve cover after high rpm engine operation in about 30 seconds.

Alternative Fuel Excise Tax Credit

A tax incentive is available for alternative fuel that is sold for use or used as a fuel to operate a motor vehicle. A tax credit in the amount of $0.50 per gallon is available for the following alternative fuels: compressed natural gas (based on 121 cubic feet), liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, P-Series fuel, liquid fuel derived from coal through the Fischer-Tropsch process, and compressed or liquefied gas derived from biomass. For an entity to be eligible to claim the credit they must be liable for reporting and paying the federal excise tax on the sale or use of the fuel in a motor vehicle. Tax exempt entities such as state and local governments that dispense qualified fuel from an on-site fueling station for use in vehicles qualify for the incentive. Eligible entities must be registered with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The incentive must first be taken as a credit against the entity's alternative fuel tax liability; any excess over this fuel tax liability may be claimed as a direct payment from the IRS. The tax credit is not allowed if an incentive for the same alternative fuel is also determined under the rules for the ethanol or biodiesel tax credits. This tax credit is applicable to fuel sold or used between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2013. (Reference Public Law 112-240 and 26 U.S. Code 6426)

I use CMW OIL products in the assembly of my engine just like the top NASCAR teams do.
It cost more to build an engine this way, but it makes for a longer lasting slightly more powerful engine.

CMW Oil Company has released a new formulated engine treatment that has no MOLY or PTFE. Entech Engine Oil Additive adjusts its properties under varying conditions in such a way that the chemical bond formed within the protective film become much harder with increasing pressure. When pressure pushes down on it, it can push back because its bonds get ever tighter with more pressure.

Entech is compatible with all synthetic and standard motor oil to achieve outstanding wear control, resistance to thermal breakdown at high operating temperatures and cleanliness that are demanded by today’s sophisticated modern aluminum or steel engines, Rated for gasoline and diesel engines.

No Molybdenum Disulphide
Increases fuel mileage
Extra protection for turbochargers
Increases protection during break-in
Reduces frictional values
Excellent adhesion properties
Compatible with petroleum and synthetic lubricants
Completely oil soluble

It will raise the quality of any oil to be suitable for your expensive high performance engine.Orignally intended for diesel engines Shell Rotella T has proven it's self in petrol engines and only cost about a the same as crappy oil.

Adding a bottle of CMW OIL ENGINE ADDITIVE to any oil makes it way better.

I can provide you with CMW OIL Entech Engine Oil Additive EA37580E
with your motor at $15 a bottle or $14 in groups of 4.
