Arrow Stroker Kit Opinion

Hey guys,
My old good-wrench 350 is getting a little old and seals and bearing are shot so I am looking for a cheap way to rebuild engine and get a little hp at the same time. I cam across the stroker engine kits for cheap and I am wondering if this could be too good to be true. I plan on topping it off with some pro-comp aluminum heads and maybe add a summit cam.

The car is an 64 Nova SS and I daily drive it rain or shine. Looking for semi-decent gas mileage and a kit that I could get at least 50,000 miles out of.

Heads - http://www.skipwhiteperformance.com/...Item=A64210272

Thanks!

links dont work. i personally use Ohio Crankshafts rot. ***. and have had very good luck with their products. Ive been beating on my 385 since dec of 06' and have gone into the 9 second range. Stay away from anything with the name ProComp the castings are **** there is a reason why they are so cheap, you get what you pay for.

I would go with either of these with a forged piston

I got the 383 super kit in mine with the lightweight crank. I took it to Bruce at the wop shop and he was impressed with the kit.
