A longer stroke would be much cheaper as if you went all-bore you would need to install darton sleaves in your block, which is $$ by itself. (~2400 if I remember right).

Stroking is way cheaper. CFI is right, any bore work means sleeves on the aluminum blocks and possible long-term reliability issues. Many are going with the iron 6.0L truck block and 4" stroker kit for the better of both worlds.
Good hone on stock cylinders to 3.905" and an Eagle stroker kit would run around $2500. Check with Keith Craft "www.keithcraftmotorsports.com" for some really good prices on rotating assemblies, long and short blocks, and great advice. Also, many of the vendors to the right ------> can help out big time.
