How does a 360 408 stroker work?

I picked up my 408 Scat stroker kit for around $1900 from summit. Came with Cast crack, Forged dish pistons.

Did you get the one that was already balanced? Brian at IMM said he's checked the Scat balance jobs at they are fine for under 500 hp. I got the one already balanced. Runs smooth.

Just picked up my short block Saturday from the machine shop. $1370 for all the work. I had everything done. hot tanked, magnafluxed, sonic tested, bored, mains honed, cylinders plate honed, surface decked, shortblock assembled, cam and chain installed.

And all that would be the same exact cost on a 360 stock stroke unless you picked H-beam rods or stock rod for your 4" stroke that would require additional labor for clearancing.
