you wouldn't to have the 400 mains to run that kit. All you would need is the extra block clearance for the stroker crank. When you take a crank out of an actual 400 sbc is when you need to have the mains bored. Every kit I have ever seen use 350 mains on a 3.75 stroker crank. Someone please correct me if i'm wrong..
also.. chevy high performance did a back to back comparison on a 350 v/s 383 with the the same parts. The 383 made like 41 more hp and like 70 ft lb of torque. Not exact because I don't have the mag in front of me but thats a close guess.
normal machine work for a rebuild as well as extra clearance in the bottom of the block to clear the 1/4 inch of stroke. You can do a google search and find pictures and instructions on where the block needs altered

CHP compared a 355 against 383 SBC. I agree with a previous poster that to go with an internal balanced kit.

it says 410 hp but with all my other mods (full exhaust, hei dist, wires, headers, carb, bored, etc.) will it make more than 410hp?? i was looking for about 450 hp.
