Default 383 stroker questions.

I have a stock 02 firebird formula, with about 97,000. What would I have to do to put a 383 stroker kit in it?

Drop your car off at a local performance shop (preferably a sponsor), write a check and leave your keys, come back when they tell you it's ready.

To much for me to want to write up, did you ever try searching at all. I see these questions more and more lately and it gets old, people asking questions that are so vague that its impossible to get a good answer. Search what it takes to do a 383 stroker and most of your questions will be answered and you will probably drop the idea once you see how much work it is.

It's not too expensive if your doing the work yourself
2K for rotating assem
1500 for machine work
Depends on heads and cam you want to do all little things your looking around 4-5k if you do everything yourself now if you wanted a shop to di everything 10k sounds abour right
