408/360 question

When I built my stroker, my Eagle steel crank, Scat I-beams, and Diamond pistons didn't need any heavy metal to balance it. Lite pistons are good for soooo many reasons (in conjunction with lite rods). With careful planning, you should be able to build a stroker for close to the same money as building a 360 (assuming you were going to have to buy a rotating assembly either way).
