Default Engine Question/Info

I was curious to how much it would cost me to bore out my stock 350 to a forged 383. Can someone give me information about this, kits, prices, pics, links etc? It would be my daily driver and I wouldn't want it just for a drag racing. I'd just want something with more power and flexibility. Any help?

Will this work?

Machining and stuff is usually a few hundred bucks... That kit looks really cheap.

If I had to build a stroker with the least amount of money possible, I'd get a kit with a Scat 9000 series crank, rods, KB/Probe/SRP whatever. This kit would probably 900 dollars or so... but it would have great durability for your application, and allow you to beat on it a little if you wanted. Always go with durability first :cheers:

I have seen numerous forum members give negative feedback about Speed O Motive and their work. I personally have taken their advice and stood away. I like to learn from other's mistakes. Hopefully someone will chime in with more on Speed O Motive.
:lurk:
