comments needed on this 383 stroker "kit"
OK, I have been looking at stroker kits for my 87 351w, I found this one for $800, it's a 383 kit. Should I avoid this one or not?
Here are the specs.
Forged 4340 Steel Prime One 351W Crank-fits any 351W Block with 3.000" mains. 3.750" stroke with 2.100" x 1.900" wide journals for SB Chevy rods. Has fully cnc machined journals, radiused for high strength, micro polished to exact tolerances. Machined oiling system, chamfered oil holes, indexed and equalized stroke. Crank is nitride through hardened, shotpeened, and deburred. Crank is setup to be EXTERNALLY Balanced with 28oz components. This crank will support 1000 PLUS HORSEPOWER!
Forged 4340 H-Beam Prime One Connecting Rods-These rods are 6.250" center-to-center length, with .927" pin bronze bushings for full floating design. They have high strength ARP 8740 7/16" bolts and are match weighted for easy balancing. They have rod cap alignment dowels, are precision CNC machined to exact tolerances and will support 1000 horsepower.
ROSS Forged 2618 FLATTOP Pistons (part number 99826)-These pistons are for a 4.030" (.030" overbore) cylinder size. They are flattop in design with extra large valve reliefs to fit any normal inline valve cylinder head. They WILL NOT fit Yates, Brodix Neal, Twisted Wedge, Cleveland, or Edelbrock Victor Race heads. They feature precision CNC Machining, forced pin oilers, double spirolox, and aircraft quality piston pins.
Hastings Plasma-Moly File-fit rings (PART# 2M5523-35)-These are precision formed rings for racing that are 4.030" plus .005" for file-to-fit precision. They feature plasma moly coated top rings, cast taper faced 2nd rings, and precision oil control rings.
KING High Performance Rod and Main Bearings-These bearings feature alecular material for the highest strength to reliability. They are precision matched for clearance and will hold up to the most power in severe applications.

It's a kit on ebay, no maf because its a carbed motor 87 was carbed - 88 was EFI. Stock heads, ported, valve work, etc. for now untill I can afford some aftermarket ones. I am wanting to get a stroker kit, and then build around that, right now the motor is completely stock and is on an engine stand.

Do the 393. Stroker crank, stock style rods, 302 pistons. Cheaper and easier, and 10 more cubes.
I bought an eagle stroker crank for about $250, Speed pro hyper pistons for like $50 and reused my stock rods. You can buy some nice H-beams or whatever you want, the stock rods were fine with the power i was expecting.
