What's it take to build a 396?
You can do it both ways. But if you are going to sleeve it to for a 396, it would make more sense to build a 418 or 427.
The stroker kit that I got fits the stocked (honed) bore and has a longer stroke of 4.125". The 383 strokers have a stroke of 4.00", so the only difference in stroker kits is the crank (and possibly rod length).

383 iand 396 have teh same bore. 30 over
383 has a 3.75 stroke
396 has a 3.875 stroke
neither one require resleving.
kits usually include: crank, rods, pistons, bearings and rings
make sure you factor in machine work in the price

Why does it have to be sleeved?? does it need to be bored over 60.
and would a 396 be worth the build for a good strong daily driver, thats
not used for strip use, and whats the purpose of a 396, more torqe than the
383 right?? I thought i'de use a CC306 cam.

To get the extra stroke needed for a 396 requires a little more maching of the block for clearence issues. If the pupose of your car is to be a driver I might even suggest building a forged internal 355, and with the money you save get a good set of heads and a custom grind cam to match.
