Car Craft Stroker Article

Anyone see the newest Car Craft? It has a article about building a stroker for $999 (in parts)
Has anyone used what they are using? I have 2 freshly machined 302 blocks, waiting for me to do something...

 

Haven't seen it yet. But I do have the new issue at home here.

 

Yes, I just got that issue the other day. I think the $999 refers to the cost of the stroker kit and nothing else.

 

999 for just the eagle rotating assembly, which is still a decent price. Another $600 for the other parts and tools, before labor.

Still, $1500 to make my 308 into a 347.

But that is without machine work, and I thought you had to go .030 over to get the 347...

 

Yep, it says bore=4.030. Not sure how to get that without hiring someone to do machine work on it.

Car Craft says that their 302 was "refreshed" in the November '07 issue, so I bet it got it's .030 bore at that time.

So add a bit more to the total cost.

 

I'll dig up the 07 issue, I don't think it was bored .030.....
Still $999 for just the rotating assembly is cheap..

 

But the bore in the new article IS .030 over, so someone did it at some time.
