Where to get an affordable Stroker Kit?
Ok, so I will be taking my block and crank into the machineshop soon. I read a thread yeasterday that made me realize that I too had left the crank laying horizontily for some time. If it is bent and needs replacement I am considering a stroker kit. But it has to be affordable. It would not be blown, nor would I use nitrous. Probably be looking at between 300-400hp, depending on heads. I have selfported gt-40p heads, but am considering the patriot aluminum heads for a stroker. So I don't need h-beam rods etc. Just your basic setup.
Anybody know of a "cheap" stroker kit? By cheap, I don't mean junk. "Affordable" is a better word, except everybody can afford a different amount. Also, should I look for 331ci or 347ci? I hope the stock crank isn't damaged. But it's a good excuse to have some fun. ![]() THANKS!

so is woody one owner, or work for the link you just posted? Prices seem reasonable for a shortblock.
I found caosthp has a 347 kit for 799. but that would need balanced and my block machined.

Woody1 on here is the one owner of ford strokers and that is his website,he recently hired someone else to help him also,but he is the owner and is very nice and helpful.Woody1 sells coast high stroker kits also.I assure you if you buy from him you will get no junk whatsoever that is not how he does business.

Thanks guys. I found out that my crank is fine. So I won't be going stroked, but I did favorite the link and will let people know of his reputation. You never know, I may just hit him up one of these days.
