Best Prices on Stroker R/A
If you HAVE TO HAVE Lunati, then I cant help you. If u want to save som serious bucks and dont mind usinga Callies crank, then SDPC a sponsor over there----------------> can help ya. That is where I got mine. Eagle now makes a stroker as well for MUCH LESS than Lunati or Callies. Take a look around before you commit. Bear

I had a CALLIES brand new 4.125 crank and the reluctor wheel broke like a high school cheerleaders hymen on PROM night and I would stick with a PROVEN LS1 PERFORMER-LUNATI CRANK as a broken relucutor wheel is not fun!!!!

That is kinda what I thought. Also, need to ask a question conserning my cam. It is a MTI cam with the following specs. Duration @ 050 252/244 .595. Advertised 305/297. Will I have to relief the pistons to compensate for the high lift?

Rob you can't run the Pistons that come with the Lunati kit and get a 427...I think you know that. You're going to have to resleeve the block 4.125" and go with a 4" stroke. You realize how pricey this is. The rods that are in the Lunati kit I "think" are too short or maybe they're too long or maybe just right, heck I can't remember, but I know the Lunati Kit you're thinking of will come no where near close enough to get you what you need. The block machining and everything at a bare minimum will run $2000 plus if you want main studs and such just add more $$$. Figure on a Lunati Crank for about $1500 or so and then a good set of rods will run around $650 plus. A good set of pistons depending on a lot of varying factors should go around $550-$600. Then you need a great set of heads which I would recommend TEA Stage III Judson Massengil Series Heads. They're around $2700. That's gonna get you started plus all gaskets and all the bearings, and such....
Brian... Lunati is coming out with a 427 kit some time in the near future. Demon has given me th 411 on the kit but hasnt been able to give me specs yet. Pm me and I will give you specific on pricing and such.
I was told by my machinist that the Darton setup is great on a drag motor, but a dry setup would be the best bet for a car that will see alot of street time. Something about geting the sleeves to seal. I dunno. Just going by what he said. Anyhow. I will probably go pick up my block next week end and start prepping for the RA when it come out. I hope its around the first of the year. I was told that it could be as early as the first part of Jan
I talked with Jay @ Lunati today, but he was running out the door to the PRI show... I can get further information top of next week. The way they have most of their kits is a low compression, stock compression and high compression (3 separate kits). I'll let you know as soon as I know.
Of course we do have a 408 full kit sitting here if anyone is interested it's available immediately and is very close to our cost.
