Re: all-bore 382ci vs 383 stroke Most 4.0" cranks are going from $1900ish to about $2300ish.
All the resleeved block I have found, 4.125" bore, go anywhere from $2600ish to $4500.
There are a couple of things to consider for each.
Going with the Stroker, at a mininum new 6.125" connecting rods and pistons will be needed; from $550 and up for the pistons and $600ish and up for the rods..
With a block, you can keep the connecting rods, you will need new psistons; $600 and up.
The Stroker will make more low end torque and the block will produce more upper end horsepower. For the street, I would recommend the stroker.
Just my $0.02 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: all-bore 382ci vs 383 stroke We just recieved our 4-5 week backordered Cometic gaskets right before I left for vacation, we will have our 382 all bore assembled and on the dyno shortly, it will be a very interesting stroke vs bore comparison! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .

Re: all-bore 382ci vs 383 stroke Here's another point of view:
If you're on the street, just how much low end torque do you need? Chances are you won't be running the tires necessary (slicks) to actually use that low end torque. The stock 346 has plenty of low end torque to spin some drag radials off the line. Once you get off the line you'll be using your top end more. I would suggest the all bore if you're looking for more street performance. Just my .02.
