IDK bu Diesel Power Magazine had a article not to long ago where one shop (Famous shop) has a kit already developed. Cause the shop even rebadges the truck with 7.3 badges I guess...

To answer your question, no, a stroker kit is not available. You might be able to have something custom built, but it would be huge money considering billet rods run $2500-3500 depending on brand and you'd have to have a different crank and custom pistons. Doing one special run of billet parts is extremely expensive

I wouldn't worry about any kind of billet rods. The older 7.3 had the good rods. This isn't a street machine at all is it Jesse?

Billet rods will depend on how much power you want. Stock forged rods have been tossed in trucks 500-600hp. Tuning is allowing us to run more reliably in that 500hp range, but when you start approaching 600hp, billets will be needed eventually. I get every issue of diesel power mag so I'd like to know where you saw they are making a stroker kit for the 7.3L. To my knowledge, there is not one available.. They are supposed to be doing stroker kits for the 6.4 last I saw.
