Think About Getting A 408 Stroker...


Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of getting an LQ9 out of an HD pick up. I throwing around the idea of turning it into a 408 stroker. However, I'm trying to do this on a budget. I was wondering what you guys think of these kits.

Let me know what you guys think. Like I said this is just an idea. If you have any other ideas on what to do with the LQ9 I am open for suggestions.

 

Thanks!

Are you going to build it or have a shop do it?

 

I'm not big on getting certain stuff off ebay. The first guy doesn't note about warranty but those are quality parts. If anything, I would go with the TSP kit, but you can call them and have one of the guys over there help build you a package.

 

All in all, you could build a nice stroker for around 5k with heads and all if you shop around and do the work yourself.

N/A or Nitrous motor = yes, more cubes makes sense.

 

Boost of any sort = keep the stock crank in it and use a premium set of forged pistons, rings, and aftermarket rod bolts.

 

Either way, get the best set of heads you can afford and correct camming to put it all together.
