I got a 900 mile 02 short block that I want to stroke. Which sponsor sells the best and cheapest? What machine if any do I need? Trying to keep a decent budget too.

 

Are you looking for a stroker kit, or an all-bore kit. You can throw in a 4.00" crank on a stock block for 383ci, or keep the stock crank and go with a larger bore (I forger how big) for a 382 all bore motor.

 

I believe you need to sleeve the block if you want to stick with the stock length crank and get that displacement.

 

I was under the impression an 382 all bore was the stock bore size (3.89) with a 4.00" crank. No honing of sleeve needed.

 

All bore usually means that the stroke of the crank does not change but the bore increases. Using a crank with a 4" stroke would make it a stroker.

 

not so much.

All bore motor is, 4.125" and 3.625 crankshaft, wiseco makes a shelf piston for this application.

If you are going after building a 382 motor we have Eagle rotating assemblies, match balanced to JE pistons/rings included,bearings etc. $2399 shipped.

 

Wouldn't you need a wet sleeve as the LS1 block isn't supposed to go over 3.905? Or 3.915 or something like that?

 

I see. Id be better off honing the block to 3.90 and building a 383. My mistake, I want the most cost effective way.
