Thinking about doing a stroker
This weekend I find out if my rings are bad or just my valve seals. Last week I took my spark plugs out and all four on the driver side had oil in them. What does it cost to rebuild a LS1 stock? LS1 forged internals? 383 stroker or 402, 408, or 409 stroker? Any suggestions please help. What changes or what would I need to do for this. What power should I expect?How much does it cost to install?

The first thing I would do is run some searches. All the information can be found through some searches. Once you read a little to get a better idea of differences between the motors, then call up some of the sponsors and talk to them about combinations.

He'll probably need a new (unused) block unless he wants to go iron block. Is there much of a supply of used Aluminium 6.0l blocks?
