Building Her Up

If you guys didn't know motor is going to bite the dust, and that gave me a good reason to build a stroker motor. Could any of you guys give me suggestions on internals. Also, I am puting a better water pump and lower thermastat, but need to know if this will be cool enough for the summer with the stock radiator.

383
Cam?
Crank?
Valvetrain?
Rods?

Also want to use the stock heads to save money, but a friend it going to port and polish and the intake as well.

I apperciate the help to get me on the right track, Thanks Mark Tisdale.

Building a stroker motor with STOCK heads is like using an eyedropper when u need a firehose.

U mean ur not planning ANY head work at all? not even mild port work?

I just did mine and its sitting right here. Just remember...there is a lot of other things in there that need to be done and modified. I just got of the phone with Nu-Tek. Had my friend come up saturday and we were putting the motor together and realized the tock pan and windage tray will not clear. Another 400 bones down the tube for a Canton with shipping and oil pump and pick up. It's like a snowball.......just keeps getting bigger and bigger ($$$$$$$).

good luck.

I hear that, all this work makes me want to make it just a 355.

Would It still be possible to make a crazy 355 to put out 400hp.

It is definitely possible to make a crazy 355 with over 400hp. Gm847 and mildly ported stock heads makes around 400 at the wheels. Well I mean, there are other things you need, but a 400+ hp 355 is easily possible.
