Crank is shot, do I stroke it or not?
a stoker will be like $8,000 not $800
look at the lists above
maybe $4k just in top end alone
Maybe I miss read the earlier post where it was quoted the difference between the 2 builds by Brian was $850 (post #30)..... No overall price has been quoted for either build, just the difference, I did say "Extra 800" - I should have said "Extra 850"
The rest of the build is going to be the same other than the difference in cost between the Scat stroker cast crank, new pistons and Scat rods and the remanufactured stock stroke crank, new pistons and remanufactured stock rods.
If it's going to be internally balanced as a stroker you would rebalance the flywheel and add a neutral balancer at the same time the rest of the rotating assembly is balanced, should be little difference in balancing cost to do the flywheel at the same time as the rest.
The guy's not trying to build a motor with worked heads etc... his choice is go for a mild 360 rebuild or a mild rebuild with 4" stroke for an "extra $850" over the cost of the stock stroke build with Brian doing both builds.
FWIW
Mine is a 71 360 block, Comp hydraulic roller cam, retrofit lifters, Edelbrock heads (Decked to 63cc - they had a 2cc difference between the heads OOTB), Comp dual springs, Manley pushrods, Scat 9000 crank and I beam rods, Mahle forged pistons, PWR stainless 1.6 rockers, Super Victor EFI & fuel rails with 1000cfm throttle body, ARP studs all round, internally balanced (no Mallory needed), Ishihara-Johnson crank scraper, including machine work but without extractors it owes me less than 8k including shipping & GST of most of the new parts from USA to Australia (I brought the crank locally - rest was imported).
The only original parts are the block, main caps and 318 marine flywheel. I do save on labour for assembly by doing it myself.
The EFI Controller, sensors, coils, knock sensors and wiring are from a dead LS1, as I already had them and I already have HP Tuners to program myself.
Injectors are 43lb Bosch which cost me $300.
Extractors are custom stainless shorty water jacketed for marine use and cost $2500. Still need to sort out oil pickup, an electric water pump to run through a heat exchanger, then I'll gap the rings and finish off the assembly.
The extra's sure do add up over the typical carb to pan base stroker engine, but this is an unusual build and involves expensive marine addons and EFI.
