Lots of variables to take into consideration,forged internals?cast crank hyper pistons,H beams,I beams ,recon stock beams?studs or bolts? studs add in what line honing costs, aftermarket heads, redone stock heads? On the cheap you could prolly do a nice one for around 3 or 4k on the forged side prolly 6 or 7K with aftermarket heads added in.also depends on how much of the work you do yourself.

I think I'm probably gonna go ahead and go with the 360 Stroker, but still am not 100%... I've been thinking about clearances here lately, and I remember how mad I got working on some of these new cars out now..... Jeeze :sad3:. But as far as the motor, that kit includes:
HIGH NODULAR 4.000" STROKER CRANKSHAFT
FORGED 4340 6.123" H BEAM CONNECTING RODS
FORGED DISH TOP PISTONS
NEW MOLY RING SET
CLEVITE ROD AND MAIN BEARINGS

And the optional stuff that I will probably add is:
LABOR TO BALANCE THIS KIT,
NEW FLEXPLATE
NEW HARMONIC DAMPER

This one I'm not sure about yet, so:
TOTAL SEAL TS-1 RING SET

And, of course, one of these, but, not sure which yet until I have block:
+.030 OVERSIZE

+.040 OVERSIZE

+.060 OVERSIZE

So....... As far as some of the other stuff, I plan on running main studs, this is a stroker after all, lol, as far as the line hone, I'd want to do that anyway with a new crank. I'm fairly sure I can get most of the machine work done for free. The head work will depend on what heads I can get my hands on, if I can't get lucky in finding a really nice set worth building, then I'll get a set aftermarket, and in that case, will consider aluminum. I will probbaly run valve cover studs, but the rest of the motor will be bolts, so, that will save some money. So, there's a little more of what I'm looking towards. Bring on the questions/comments.
