I originally wanted a 427 stroker kit but am worried about the 200 shot on the thin walls of the 427 bore. As for price well thats what im trying to get figured out i dont want to break the bank on the rotating assembly but i would like for it to be durable

Where (what state) are you located? I would get a forged
Short block with a 4.0 stroke! from a vendor close to you if possible.
MMS 220 Heads, MAMOFIED FAST LSXRT Truck Intake,
90 MM TB GM or NW92, CAMMOTION cam specced by Tony
For your app + 200 shot. That would be an AWESOME!
Combo.
