Stroker kits in the UK
Some months ago I think someone put a link to stroker kits available in the UK.
The price was / is £650.
Lost the link - can anyone point me in the right direction again,
Cheers,
Hugo

, i've paid about 15.000 usd for my 406ci 570hp full assembled stroker BUT if i bought it in europe (anywhere) the SAME engine would cost me much more and for sure i'd risk to buy from somebody didnt have any clue of what he was talking about...in general if you can buy anything for the engine in europe at 650 usd be sure you can buy it in usa at less or at same price (because of freight) but at least you'll have a better and wider choise, and with the euro at 1.21 against usd the iussue is even more convenient

If you can find a link for a stroker for £650 you have to think about what kind of quality you will be getting....not very high I would guess. I am UK based and have found it cheaper to buy all parts in the States and have them shipped. Even having to pay the import and duty and VAT makes them cheaper. The only time I would buy in the UK would be if I was in a desperate rush for the part, knew it was a good 2nd hand buy or possibly...ebay, again with its own risks.
If you do find the link for that price, post it and let the guys here have a look.
Hope you find what your looking for.

I also thought it was a good price - and the spec was good.
Was a dealer - need to find it again cos I'm planning to do my engine asap.
Wher in the UK are you??
