Small block strokers. Your findings.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I didn't intend to start any debates though.

I was looking to see what is working for everyone, and their expertise.

Here's what I'm up against. I priced a crate engine at Mancinis, it is 6200$ (but not available). The same crate engine in Canada is priced at 9500$. Crazy sh*t. Everything is so expensive here.

I need to order the engine parts from the U.S. so everything needs 13% tax added to it. So I'm thinking I will pay at least one third more than you guys did for this rebuild.

My heads, ported & polished (flow tested) is quoted at 1,000$. Thats the cheapest locally. I'm actually getting pissed off because none of the local shops seem worthy of dealing with. Chrysler engines are not their thing. The one I called today says he has built them, but couldn't give a ballpark figure yet, and no warranty at all.
