I wish you could build a stroker for only a grand! I'll be close to 3k into mine once I finish it.

It wont break if its done right. And a proper break in. It will cost around a grand to build normal. But if its stroked more like 5k depends on parts you use.

There was an article in jp mag a while ago about a cam and spring job for about 300~500 that would give you a very nice power boost (they claim 40 % but idk)...other then that a ho with a slight over bore would be a very noticeable power gain...your already doing 410s on 35s so you really dont.need too much more...im doing 355s on 32s and its quite powerful...up to you really

I can order you a kit and ship it to you. I would go with D&J Rock good product and has 1yr warranty. only hade one comeback due to the guy drove his truck hard after the rebuild and didnt seat the rings so it was burning oil. If you get me the sizes on the rods mains and pistons i can get you a price on the kit

Same thing really. send ur crank out to see it you can polish it with out cuting it. and you can hone the block your self. as long as cly walls look good you can keep it stock. but i would do 20 over
