You paid a bit much, but why don't you take the engine out of the car and get some pictures (people will tell you of what) and I'm sure someone will tell you if it's a stroker or not.

In reality this is like your 8th post asking the same question. Chill and actually do something instead of just assuming and believing everything you read.

You paid a hell of a lot much, I paid 7500 for my car and it had 30k on it. I would seriously start asking questions and track down that seller...he's not off the hook yet.

Sounds like they charged xtra for the "stroker". I paid 4k for my 96 Z with 115k on the odo.

With a program like LT1 Edit or TunerCats you can see the displacement setting in the computer. That will tell you if it's 350 or 383.

Here is a quick and easy check to determine if it is a stroker (90 % correct). Most LT strokers will be internally balanced, therefore the Flex-Plate "will not" have a counter weight if it is a 383. Pull the dust cover off the trany and take a look.

Next would be to pull a head and measure the stroke (3.75") if it is a 383 stroker, 3.48" if it is a 350.

BTW are you saying you lost to a stock LS1 I dont get your post at all....

Yep that post is pretty hard to decipher...we need someone who is fluent in desperatenese to break it down for us. It sounds like we have a young guy who's bummed that LS1's with 50k miles are beating his 216k LT1. Unless you have paperwork or can see obvious signs someones been in the motor I doubt its anything but stock
