383 stroker

Post by zyl.3157 » Mon 26 Mar 2018, 20:29

Good day gents, is it worth spending the money on a 383 stroker kit for a 350 Chevy.

Depends on the parts whether they're cast or forged but I've seen stroker kits at RS performance recently for 15 grand plus a couple grand for machine work

The 4L80e is a different kettle of fish, but if build correctly and completely, it will serve you well and no manual box will compare.

Especially behind the 454

I can kick myself for taking the 700R4 out of the Camaro, after stroking her might need to go back to 4 speed too.
