Hi!
I just looked into a kit Northern Autoparts has a deal right now for a 383 stroker rotating assembly, Scat 9000 series crank (cast I believe) scat 6.0 Chevy rods (Cap screw Rods are a $24.00 option) and cnc'd Hypereutectic pistons,rings and bearings all for $822.00.....shipping to Missouri was quoted an extra $45......
I doubt you can beat that price, but worth checking into....
Ben
