It's from the same place Dinan got their stroker cranks from.

BE (AKA, BE Bearings) Designs and offers stroker kits as well. And you might be surprised that all of the highest horsepower and record holding cars on this forum used BE/RG's stroker designs.
I am using him on my project.
He custom tailors the compression, stroke, rod length on your project at no extra cost.
Parts come with BE Bearings, sized and fitted to your crankshaft and rods.
Parts balanced before you get them.
Side clearance measured and set.
Cranks available in any stroke up to 85mm.
Cranks available in multiple metal grades: 4340, and 4340VM.
Rods available as HD or STD depending on hp rating.
Bores up to 94mm
Pistons are custom designed to the block deck height, so there is no need to make this adjustment with thicker head gaskets.
Crank comes from the same supplier as Dinan and RD Sport.

BE Designs does it right and that's why I chose them.

I've only heard of Dinan and RD Sport. The first time I've heard of BE is in the recent announcement of bearings. I'd love to hear something exciting and forward looking for this platform. What is the status of your stroker?

The only reason why you are now hearing about BE with regards to strokers is that RG (regular guy) has designed/supplied parts for many strokers either as kits or as completed longblocks. Since he is one of the main guys behind BE Bearings it only makes sense to start selling stroker kits under the BE brand.

As for my stroker, my longblock is still completely stock and currently running around in RG's car as a test engine for the BE bearings. It is fitted with a flow meter, and oil flow, pressure, temperature and RPM are being logged every time it is driven. At the moment there are OEM 702/703 bearings in the engine, once enough data/usage has been accumulated on them, the BE bearings will be installed and the engine will be ran for an equal or greater amount of time to test the BE bearings. I have not been in a hurry to build the stroker since the Canadian Dollar is worth almost 40% less than the US Dollar so my cost to do the engine has gone up almost 30% since I acquired the donor longblock. I will wait a bit and watch our dollar, and hope it recovers some. Even if it don't, I want to have the engine started by the end of 2016.

Thank you for the explanation and the lending that longblock!
