What all do i need to take to machine shop?

Block with main caps, Rods & pistons, crank and Damper, and Heads, You may be cheaper buying a rotating assembly depending on the condition of the crank and rods. Heads can also get into more money then new aluminum heads. Take everything to the shop. Bottom end and block first, When that is done take the heads.

If the crank needs replaced, is there any reason NOT to do the stroker kit? It seems costs are relatively comparable if the whole rotating assembly needs replaced.
