i have been looking for a stroker kit for my blown up 5.3L. i found Texas Speed has a nice 347 kit but i was wondering if there is a company that sells the 383 kit? i know some of you guys are going to say buy a 6.0 or a 408 but i honestly dont have the money for that right now.

 

Swift700 (I think that's his name) built a 383 stroker out of his 5.3, then added his supercharger. Maybe he will see this and chime in.

that is a nice short block. what did it run you to buy and build all of that? its $2274 from texas speed for the 347 kit and im still not sure if i need to bore the block or not.

 

In all honesty, if you shop around you can get a Lq4 or Lq9 longblock and a cam for what your going to spend on a stroker kit alone if its $2274, you still need the tear down of the block and machine work done.

I just went with a stroker shortblock from a builder and am now working on the top end. I spent about 3500 on the shortblock all forged and its a 415. Look at all your options. Stroker or turbo always cost twice of what your budget for.
