Then I wouldn’t go with a stroker. I see so many good parts daily selling for very fair prices but build a plan on paper so you build a nice combo and don’t go off in every direction. Scat I beam rods, used set of flat top pistons, cut or polished stock crank, external balanced engine, hope you can find a proven set of used ported Edelbrock, Speedmaster, Pro Maxx heads, and talk to one of the several good guys on this site about a nice solid lifter cam for your combo. When you start building a stroker engine and internally balance things your budget gets eaten pretty fast. 500 horsepower on a 5000.00 budget is doable but man you better find a few deals.
