Default 5.3 stroker kit

ok, here is what i am doing, or thinking about doing,
I have a 5.3L engine,
i am wanting a stroker kit for it.
Where can i find a good stroker kit for this engine?
I am also going to get a new intake and 90mm as soon as the turbo is on it.

Thanks for all the help, please refer me to someone for this kit.

UMMM. I dont think they make a stroker kit for the 5.3. If you are gonna stroke a motor, i would think it would be just as much to stroke a 6.0. Way more cubes. I know you could get a stroker crank for a little over a grand and find some rods and what not. But why mess with it unless you are dead set on doing a different setup. If thats the case, you should do a write up on it, and keep us posted.

Bore the 5.3L out to 3.905 assuming there is still enough meat on the cylinder walls(sonic test) and use any aftermarket stroker kit for that bore size.

Eagle alone makes 3.9", 4" and 4.1" cranks.

in my opinon ur far better off geting a 6.0 block. just depends on if u want to sit around and wait for the machine shop, cause i had my 4.3 in my sonoma done and it took a month and a half to get it back.
