i have a 400 block at the machine shop.i took him a 440 steel crank that i have .hes telling me it would be cheaper to buy stroker kit. is this true.i already have this crank .also can i use 440 rods or 400 thanks for info
Depends on what equipment the shop has and what his shop rates are. If he has a big crank grinder then he should be able to take your 440 steel crank and turn it into a 451 crank fairly quickly. If he doesn't have the right equipment then it will take him a long time and he will need to charge you for a lot of labor. Why not ask the shop where the parts are? You should be able to get a quote from the shop and then compare it to the cost of a stroker kit.
