to stroke or not to stroke How much money would I expect to put down on a stroker motor, the long block. I got 5000 right now just wondering if I have got anywhere near enough. Where would be the best place to get one with a warranty.

Re: to stroke or not to stroke In one word NO. I am building up a new motor myself, and even a stock cube, or 370 iron block, is more than that. The heads alone are going to run half that price.
It gets very very expensive, and I'm even doing it myself piece by piece. You could try that route to save some cash, but you run without a warranty.

Re: to stroke or not to stroke I did the Lunati kit. I am very happy with it. You just need to get your cylinders torque honed .005 for the new pistons and rings. If you built it yourself, you would be close to $5000 including heads. More around the $5500 range with a cam, oil pump and timing chain added to the mix. Talk with Kevin at Ramchargers. He has GREAT pricing on the Lunati stroker kits.

Re: to stroke or not to stroke 236/240 .602/.608 112 LSA. I chose the wrong valve springs (Comp 987's) and had a bad case of floating the valves. It is in the process of being remedied as we speak.

Re: to stroke or not to stroke ok JPR has a 382 shortblock for $4250..
damn cubic inches are EXPENSIVE.
so what would the rest of the longblock run me?
(assuming i would choose mild h/c among LTs, ls6 intake lid mayeb cutouts ect ect)
