I have a 1983 351 windsor that has already been bored .030 over. How much more machine work is required if i install a 428CI stroker kit?

It actually requires less machine work than a standard rebuild since you don't have to recondition the rods or crank. You'll still have to make sure all your clearances are ok, but this is the same as any rebuild. You will have to notch the bottom of the cylinders and the pan rail, but this really isn't machining, it's just grinding on them until you see .100clearance.
