Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q?
Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q? So with the new lower cost of the crank (we'll approximate $1000 with all the shipping and freight, ect), what other expences are involved with doing a stroker. It was mentioned you need new pistons and rods. What about machining the block or any other labor associated with the block.
The reason I ask is I am trying to compare the cost and benefits with doing an all bore 382 vs. a stroked 383.
Thanks

Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q? Help me understand what's involved for a TRUE Budget stroker.
Cranks $1000
Does the block require machining to get the new crank to fit? If so where? What's that going to cost? $100?
Custom pistons hyperuretic similar to stock in compression etc that will work with the stroker crank. What's pistons going to cost? $500?
Balancing a set of stock rods with custom pistons and crank. What that going to cost? $100?
ARP rod bolts, rings, and other stuff for the bottom end. What will that cost? $200?
In other words, if a friend and I bolt this thing together can I do the bottom end for around $2000 including the crank.

Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q? Now how you going to do a stroker with stock rods and pistons?
The damn pistons will come out the damn block.
You are going to minimally going to have to replace the crank and pistons.

Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q? These Nodular crankshafts are 4" stroke only.
The Billet 4340 cranks available next year will be any stroke you want.
I will have to find out about the trigger wheel, but I don't think so.
Any more takers, or questions?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
And BTW, anyone know for sure if an LS1 will take more than 4.25" stroke??
Cheers.

Nu-Tek is going to be selling the Cola crank for $2195. For that price I would go with Lunati. Nu-Tek is also selling a Callies crank for $1995, but I wonder if it is a forged 4340 billet crank. Here is the link to Nu-Tek, look for the LS1 at the bottum of the page;

Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q? In the Aug 2002 issue of Popular Hot Rodding, on page 18, there is info about a new billet LS1 crankshaft from L.A. Enterprises.
"They are precision CNC-machined from a 300-pound pice of billet Kryptonite steel, then specially processed for ultimate strength and performance. These new custom billet LS1 cranks can also be custom-designed to your specs, and can be delivered in as little as four weeks."
