Want a stroker, Find a good machineable empty block and main caps and a decent correct timing cover since that's all your going to use out of the short block anyways, unless it's a pass car block in which case you will also keep the pan and oil pickup tube. Soak the bores and such in LPS-3 and wrap it in a clean trash bag. Stand it up in the corner of the garage for later. If one pops up that's a good deal, then get it. You can always buy a stroker kit, you cant always find a good block to put it in. Then you can build it slowly and methodically as funds allow you to all while driving and enjoying your car, then swap it in a weekend. Sometimes complete used rotating assemblies pop up on fabo from time to time.
