Sounds like you know what you're getting. Just wanted to make sure you didn't get ripped.

Sorry.
I'm looking at doing the budget stroker with .30 pistons, and a renix block. I'd like to put a HO head on it, casting 7120, because it let's me get a newer manifold, and flows better. My next question is the big one, I'd like to put the 99+ intake manifold on that head, the one with the long runners. Will it fit? Nothing I've found yet says conclusively that it will bolt on.
87manche said:Good to hear. I was planning on adapting my TPS to the HO TB. Any pics?I don't actually have any of these part in my hand yet. Still in the research phase.
My current plan is following Dino's 2nd plan, with the 99+ intake runners. hopefully I can get away with 87 octane..
littlebluexj said:anyone else i really just need the part numder and where you got it. a little description and the price of the parts for what im looking for. I know you get what you pay for and I have a new rebuilt head 1000miles on it I really have no need to change it so the head is fine just machine work, parts, and such.
Has to be with in lets say a HIGH SCHOOL BUDGET!
1000 us dollors 1200 is the most i can spend.
I still need to fix my P.O.S. 242 TC it busted to. I only have 1500 for the entire thing and need it done befor spring break.

SCW said:Why did you decide to use the 4.0 rods with custom pistons? I've been keeping an eye out for some time for 4.2 rods, are they really that hard to find? I could only find some in a few places that wanted a small fortune for them.
Seems like a good project, is it driving yet? Any impressions? Any changes you would make?
Thanks-
Gil BullyKatz said:I'm also interested in finding out who's got the cheapest stroker out there...
It probably involves using the 258 shorter connecting rods and silvolite/speed-pro pistons dished the appropriate cc...
Doing a lot of assembly yourself...
and re-using parts from the 4.0 donor...
for reference...
my machine shop bill was close to $1000 to have the block dipped, bored +.060, having the crank cleaned/cut .010 (?), and having the entire bottom end assembled and balanced...
I consider mine a "medium-buck" stroker (3K so far and not done yet)

It's the little nickle and dime stuff that kills ya...
You didn't include lifters, connecting rod bolts, head bolts, valve rockers, springs, etc...
If you have the skills and means to do most of it yourself and just have the shop bore or just hone it...
Then you might be under $1000
There's lots of stroker info here and in the Yahoo strokers group...
