Help with Stroker kits

[KingRalph281]

I'm thinking about putting a stroker kit into my 02 gt I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for who makes good kits and at a good price, any help would be appreciated.

Do the bigbore if you can afford it. otherwise, go with vt.

big bore FTW... the modulars have more than enough stroke, increasing the bore size it what the modular needs.

I've been wanting to do a BB for a while...
Who offers a good BB? Seems like everytime I look up 5.0L kits they are usually stroker.
Livernois offers the FR500 block....but no pistons. SHM seems to only offer the BB in a crate engine. Does anyone offer a shortblock or is it something you would have to piece together?
What is the bore for a 4.6-5.0 BB 3.7"?

look at vt engines. they have what you want. dont get the shm stuff. mine is holding up fine right now, but i have heard some bad things about the quality of work they put into their engines. maybe i just got lucky.

VT makes a solid BB, 3.7" bore is correct. You can also buy a 324ci BB/stroker if you want to go all out

I guess Im just blind. I guess I'll have to go back and look again. Trust me...When the time comes to build my BB engine...if I've got enough money I might go all out....
Once I get my re-enlistment bonus....its like donkey kong...

i wanted a bb but they are too evpensive. i decided to go with the next best thing. i ordered a VT stroker shortblock!

 

[WashburnGT]

the problem I keep running in to is they all need cores for the build. would a stock GT shortblock work? I guess I could always just e-mail them and ask...instead of wondering outloud here...

Find yourself a Teksid block on ebay, you can get them for pretty cheap usually. Then you ship it to them and they'll bore and sleeve it
