complete rebuild..stroker kit or not?and best and cheapest palce to order from
ok im getting close to tearing down the 232k mile motor. i have a guy who will bore it out for around $180 and do the hone and some other weird thing where they bolt a thing to where the haeds would be for about another 200. im shoping around on prices for the machine work now.as for the rebuild kit i dont wanna spend alot but i dont want cheap crap.im thinking if im going this far why not do a stroker kit if its not alot more.lookn for feedback on this. also the guy said for about another 200 he will fully balance the crank with the flywheel and harmonic and stuff. i have no idea if its a good deal. i will be doing all the assembly. whats a good place to get parts for and what brands of pistons and type of rings are best? and how much can i bore out the motor?and all that and power/torque perdictions
i found this kit online but i think its just crank, rods and pistons?http://www.rpmmachine.com/shop/html/...gory-57-0.html

cool stuff, i dont want to go to a 347 , i want to do a 331. i have heard a 331 is more reliable.
now how come none of the kits specify how much a motor has been punched out for?you know oversized pistons.
also the machine shop guy has heads off a 91f150 302 are these any good?

also look into AD performance.com... they have blocks, stoker kits, bottom ends, cams...etc for a reasonable price listing.... and they build + ship....

if anyone ever tells you that they will sell you the heads "off of something"
kindly decline... the only good heads that are take-off's, are GT-40 heads, which will suck *** on a stroker

I really hate to be the ******* here... but with your track record lately... you might wanna let someone else build it.
