Budget 382 Stroker ?
Budget 382 Stroker ? How much roughly am I looking at to get one built?
I have no clue in this subject because I thought this would be something I'd do next year or even further down the line. But since my bottom end decided to fail me this past weekend this is now something I'm considering.

Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? Pete are you planning to do the motor yourself? Some of the sponsors have good deals on the kits.You'll need the Block honed.Save some money assembling yourself..If you just want the short block MTI had some good deal..
Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? Perhaps you can get the rotating assembly for ~$3500, it comes already balanced you would just need to machine the black. You will need a new cam too since your C2 will be too small and it's mostly ruined.

Their special now is $5K for a complete shortblock plus $800 core charge.

Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? $3500 is just the Crank,Pistons,Rings and Rods.You'll still need block work,plus bearings..and whatever else happen to the heads..Hopefully nothing..
Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? Yeah, I was just talking about the rotating assembly. The Lunati (3.905 bore x 4.000 stroke) kit comes with a billet crankshaft, pistons, billet rods, and some other little stuff. The crank is like $2500 of that cost.

I'm also gonna inquire locally at AES.

I remember just a couple weeks ago you did heads/cam at Speed Inc. right?
To be on topic - if you did an all bore, I think you can do that without going to an iron block or a resleeve. JPR's 382 allbore is with an aluminum block. Then all you'd need to upgrade would be the crank and rods later to get a 422.

Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? Yeah, the heads/cam was done in January. I had about 500-600 miles on it and went roadracing this past weekend. Engine went BOOM!! <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />

Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? Bad <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I'm almost in your same boat, with the budget rebuild. Mine is consuming massive amounts of oil, I'm looking to go JPR more than likely, I was told recently that he phased out of 382's and is building 387's now (through e-mail) Correct me if i'm wrong. My only problem will be tuning, as I am in nawf carolina and I can't seem to find a tuner anywhere. Good luck!

Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? You could go All bore, like said, but the Compression Height is going to change with the new crank and rods.
CH for stock crank and 6.125 rods: ~1.311
CH for 4" crank and 6.125 rods: ~1 .130
Keep the rods, and get a new crank and pistons <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
BTW- Were you at Road America?

Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? I too am thinking of this very hard. what about the SCAT crank? how much is that and is it a good piece? do the bearings have to be replaced or is it just a good idea?

Re: Budget 382 Stroker ? I8COBRA:
Dude, i can't believe your motor grenaded while road racing. THAT really SUCKS and i feel for you man. What gave, a rod bolt, a dropped valve?
Anyways, keep your head up man. ON the bright side it looks like you will end up getting more power faster than you anticipated. Best of luck to you on getting back on the road as soon as possible.
