To stroke, or not to stroke.....

[liljon285]

Hey everyone, i just got a great deal from my dad. He wants me to give him my 305c.i. and my th350 and hell get me a 350 and a 700r4 tranny. Now the tranny will be rebuilt and ready to put in but the 350 will be asking for a build. Now i was thinking should i stroke the 350 to a 383? I want to do it so bad but im 16 amd money isnt very great.My goal is 405 hp to the flywheel, and under $2200. I just need to go very cheap and a lot of horsepower. Now I checked a stroker kit in summit and it was about $1100 (brings new cast 3.75" stroke cranks, summit stage 2 rods, keith black pistons, sealed power rings, clevite chamfered bearings, sealed power gaskets and a melling oil pump.) Now I talked to my brothewr and he showed me this other kit that he says that will be way better but its around $2k but its made by eagle (and bringseagle specialties cast steel crankshaft,lightweight 5140 steel connecting rods, pistons,pistron pins clevite 77 rod and main bearing, and piston ring set). I dont know what to do, i think just modding the 350 as it is would be cheapest but i really want to biuld a 383 stroker.

Sorry for the long explantion but please tell me what you guys think.
