wouldnt be a bad kit if you got the forged crank. probably the parts are cheap, thats why it is so cheap. if the crank was forged and the pistons were forged for that price id buy it just to have it

That seems way too cheap, under $600 for a stroker kit. The guy has a lot of good feedback, so I'm sure it's not a scam. It's probably just low quality parts.
I've seen cheap stroker kits before, but not THAT cheap.

you are right, but the stroke is shorter on a stock cast crank and youre not making the same kind of power with a stock crank. but like i said, its not a bad deal if you pay the extra $220 for the forged crank

stay away from tmd. i baught my crank from the. they claimed it was ready to go. they forgot to mention that they came from crap castings and the counterweights have to be cut so they dont hit the cylinder walls. its was from the same company that makes that stroker kit, i would stay away imo.
guys go buy this stuff, then after countless pitfalls and massive amounts of extra machine work and 100's of dollars in balancing, they come to me or other reputable guys with quality stuff. There is a huge difference between the good chinese castings and the absolute junk, which is what that auction consists of. They aim that junk at noobs.
Have fun paying your machinist more to resize the big end of the rods as alot of that stuff is wacked, or possibly cutting the crank cause its outta wack right off the boat. Spend 800-900 and get quality pieces.

Im not the master of SBF stroker kits, but dont you usually have to notch the lower part of the cylinder when installing a stroker crank? I though that was standard proceedure in a 331 or 347. Maybe Im wrong.

i was not installing a stroker crank. in most cases you do when you install a stroker crank., but the castings were so bad. it was a stock size crank. way way off balance. and they claimed it was ready to install, what bs.
ya thats for the rod bolts, nothing to do with the crank counterweightsTheBocSez said:Im not the master of SBF stroker kits, but dont you usually have to notch the lower part of the cylinder when installing a stroker crank? I though that was standard proceedure in a 331 or 347. Maybe Im wrong.
same kit i was going to buy when my engine was out. I ended up not buying it and just went with a stock kit for 400... Couldnt afford a nice kit . If i were you i would save for a nice scat or eagle kit. Take your time or you will end up with a piece u dont even want afterwards like me
