I'm starting to get bored with the power I'm making. I want to make more. Much, much more. The way I see it, I've pretty much maxed out the engine in terms of what I can do with the factory piston's, rods, crankshaft, etc. etc. Originaly, I planned on getting a blower and just upgrading the motor with a forged rotating assembly and low comp. pistons. (a 355) But from what I've been seeing, the cost between this and building a stroker really isn't that much different in terms of cost. I've seen a lot of 383 kits out there but only one place that sells 396's (Nutek) . I know the 383 would be a good set-up but I can't help but think "MOPAR" when I here 383. 396 just rolls off the tongue better y'now? I have an issue of GMHTP where they do a 396 on there project "thunder chicken. (What an awesome machine.) That's what I want.
Anyways, does any one know who else (besides Nutek) sells these kits ? Can you give me a link?
(I want just the rotating assembly.
NOT a whole new motor)
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

As far as sponsers on here combination motorsports sells a good kit from what people have said. I got my kit from Nu-Tek and it is a very good kit. Both places know there stuff. It up to you and what you are mor comfortable with I guess.

I'm pretty sure MORE Performance does too. www.moreperformanceinc.com

MTI sells them. But, like More, they are expensive. I would stick with a 383 personally.

383 - 396 ?
How about; 406 or 427 ? I'm wondering how much of a cost difference there is ?

i got my 427 stroker kit from ebay, took it to the machine shop, had them check it, then had them install it
all for $2800

I was confused until I read your post. My understanding was the C5R block was needed. Block filler? I didn't know you could do that.

block filler goes in the water jacket around the cylinder (i think you can use it in any engine)

i know the LS1/6 can be punched to 450+ CI
the LT4 if i was told correctly can goto 430-435CI
the LT1 if i was told correctly can goto 396CI

its not 427, it more like 426.84 or something like that

4inch stroke, 4.120 bore (the block was machined to 4.250, leaving .2inch of material when it was x-rayed, the the steel sleeve was installed to make it stronger, the the water jackets filled, & machined to allow water to pass to the heads)

the stroke is 0.52 inch longer than stock (aprox 1/2 inch)
the bore is 0.12 inch bigger (aprox 1/8 inch)

if im wrong - please correct me - im not an expert - i just pay the experts to do the work

does it usually cost less than 3k for a stroker and install
