My Stroker Idea I plan on doing a 3rd gen swap and am starting the buying process. I was thining of this for a daily drivability motor setup. Do you guys think it would work for daily drivability? how much power do you think it would produce? good combos? or should i just go with an iron 6.0L block and build that up to a 408 with similar cam and head setup?

lunati kit is something like 4k. insane.
LS1s are overpriced IMO. get a motor out of a truck. but keep in mind that you would then have to put the oil pan, water pump, intake off an LS1 on it and probably also LS1 accessories. you can get a low milage LQ4 (6.0) for $1300, and a 4L60E for $600-$800.

first note that daily driver means different things to different people...I drive a LT/true duals car around that lots of people would consider way too loud for the street, people drive around TRex/5000+ stall/4:10 gear cars which people would consider undriveable, and they love it.
you can pick up a forged 402 short block (with a warranty) from many of our sponsors for around $4-$5k, get a good head/cam/intake setup for around another $5k, and make 500-550rwhp easy. Or, keep your stock displacement, put a budget heads/cam/intake on it, and make around 420-440rwhp for around $4k (including bolt-ons). On the extreme end, you can pick up an LS7 crate motor for $14k, have some of our vendors work it over for around another $8k, and end up with 630+rwhp and a wallet that hates you. What is your budget, and how far do you want to go?

If you're only looking for about 400rwhp, do what Cop Car said and get an LQ4/LQ9 truck motor (6.0) and add a 224/224 cam, mill the heads about .030", and an LS6 intake. That right there should get you what you need. If you want to do a stroker, look into Eagle rotating assemblies. VERY strong, much stronger that what most people even need. A 408 would be sweet, but you'd be closer to 500rwhp within your price range.
