Best Stroker Short Block?
Best Stroker Short Block? Whatsup guys i just recently found out i cracked a piston and am using this as a springboard to build up my motor. i've decided to just get an aluminum short block w/ forged internals to have a solid foundation for the future, and no more cracked pistons. i know could reuse my stock block, but i really don't have the time to get the block machined and then get a rotating assembly - i'd rather just have it balanced and ready to go in when i get it.
i've seen a couple on racenet.net and keithcraftmotorsports.com all hovering in the 4-5k zone. just wanted to know if anyone had any ideas of where else i could find some or what to specifically look out for when buying one

Whatever you do, stay away from racenet.net, they are horrible with everything. they will keep your money, and promise you to have your parts out, and 5 months later you still dont have it. STAY AWAY, consider it a warning.

You can get an internally balanced Eagle 382/383 rotating assembly for about $2,200. Then all you need is a new LS1 5.7L block, rings/bearings, machining, and installation.
Check out some of the sponsors like A.P.E. and H.P.E. They both sell fully assembled short-blocks at great prices.

Yes at HPE we do an Iron all forged 408 for 3899.00 and the aluminum 383 would be maybe 150.00 or so more because of the block price. Both of those prices are without cores. If you have your own core you can save even more money. We do the shortblock for whatever you are going to use it for specifically as far as clearances and ring gaps etc. It's only myself and one other guy that actually do all these blocks. We do not farm them out to anyone else so I can answer any question you have about them since I actually build them.

Erik and to all the guys at HPE thanks for all the help! Motor will be here on Thur and going in on friday! Cant wait!
Erik,
i'm very interested in the aluminum 383. can i get one w/forged internals? i have my block, what would that bring the price down to? Approx how long after the order would it take to get to my door? And speaking of my door where are you located? Just wondering how much shipping to expect for a shortblock.. sorry for all the questions, i'm just getting kinda excited about this.
