| "would it be worth it?" Not when you can already get a bigger UZ engines. Would make more sense to just use one of those. |

It depends on what you are trying to achieve. |

| For the money spent on a storker Kit, it would be better spent on Cams, headwork and Forced induction.. However, If you MUST go for Most N/A power, then Yes Stroking it will definately help. Although it will probably cost you more than the purchase price of your car for the KiT and Machinework to get it all fitted. |

| Maurice, it is and it isn't. like i said in that post i kept with him but just slipped beside him when he had traction. with hotter tires i should be able to give him a good flogging on a rolling start just not in the higher end. and Don, HOLY SH@T! $7,700 for a 4.7litre stroker kit! you guys weren't joking!! i could have 12psi intercooled with that!!! and just blast him |

| And Joshua, IM sure you would have to get Custom Machine work to the Block for them to Fit, PLus Rods and Pistons to suit!!!! Talking over 14K for a Crank, rods, Pistons and Bearings!!! without any Oil pumps or timing pieces or anything... Geezus!!! I bought my car for 10k and spent 4k on it and Yeah..... WOw! |

| "Custom Machine work"? Mains should be the right size considering it's designed for the motor. Probably need to knock a bit off the bottom of the bores for the extra clearance for the rods is all. |

| Miles, Then it needs machine work dont it bud! And if no one in AUS has done it before, then it will be custom, as they are gonna have to dummy fit the crank and rods and see what needs to be machined out. Leon, Man if you got lotsa money and want to build it, then thats kewl! but it is robably the Worst Bang for Buck thing ive ever seen. Hell, I even cough at the stroker kits for 1j's and 2j's! But they start at $3400. That money could be spent somewhere else thats for sure! If you worried about low down response, then chuck some NOS in it |

| Daniel, yeah I guess if you call knocking some metal off with a die grinder "custom machine work". Doesn't really take an expert though. I wouldn't suggest it's expensive or going to stand in the way of installation.. it just takes an hour or so as you put the rotating assembly in. Very routine when doing a stroker motor. I did some "custom paper work" earlier after I took a dump. It didn't raise the price of pulling up my pants though. |

| Miles, Just because you can fabricate stuff, doesnt mean everyone is a " KNow It All"..... Removing sections from the bottom of the Bores to included a different stroked crank is what 99.9% of people would call Custom Machine Work! The othe 0.1% are People whom Own machine shops and will take on the work Happilly!!!!!! Routine for stroker motors, But whom in AUS builds Custom 4.0Litre 1uZ's everyday??? Strokers arent OEM in design so therefor they need Custom fabrication to make them fit! And next time you do your " Custom Paper Work" , Try and NOT Disturb the little Man Rowing the Boat Champ!!! Nothing wrong with Constructive Criticism, but you always make people feel small or have to be better than Everyone.. Grow up CHamp! p.s Call any machine shop in Aus and ask how long it will take them to install a stroker crank and assembly in a 1UZ Block!! Bet they say " Not sure mate NEver done one!" |

| Although for the price of the stroker parts, you could probably pick up a wrecked 4.3L from the SC430 or something similar and start with that or even the new 4.6L Version.. Now your talking |

| Guys, 50% of the problems are posts that could be written a little differently, but the other 50% is that posts could also be read differently. |

| Dude I define machine work as something that requires specialised equipment and skills, like at a machine shop with mills and lathes. If you got a mechanic to put a stroker kit into an engine he would knock the bottoms of the bores off (if required) with a die grinder, after informing you it may hit the water jacket and ruin the block. If you put your own engine together, you'd do it yourself, as it is less skill heavy than putting a bloody crank in. No visit to the machine shop, no "custom machine work". I think we all know the initial intent of "custom machine work" was something expensive, probably intending to be a line bore of the mains or something like that. That is not required, it is not fabrication, it is not expensive, it does not add to any difficulty or cost of installing a stroker. Drop it and stop being confrontational. You stated that installing a stroker kit would require a lot of "custom machine work". Simply not true unless the crank is made with the wrong main size or something. So seriously, cut it out and butt out unless you have something actually meaningful to add. My comment is constructive. I sought to correct a misconception that may have discouraged someone from further investigating a stroker. Now you pipe up with your BS.. Question: ever put a motor together? A stroker? If not then how are you qualified to be telling people what exactly they will need to have done when building one? Nowhere did I try and make anyone feel small. I added information to correct a wrong comment. |

| Answer Yes i Have built a Stroker 6 cylinder engine and also a Stroker windsor. Because i did not know the exact dimensions of things to be machined i took them to a machine shop for assembly. Thus being told BY the workshop and also on the invoice at the time as Custom Machine work. Anyways, Seems you still dont see my point. Just because you dont see it as custom work, doesnt mean everyone else is the same as you mate. Hell, people even say an INtercooler fitment can be "custom Work" Even though there are kits off the shelf that are bolt on! NOwhere did i say it needs or requires A lot of work, Just some work! Lets just agree to dissagree mate. |

| hahhahahaha LOVE THIS THREAD. I was told several years ago that Hp= money and lots of it. My own V8 is starting to be a real money pit so far parts alone for the bottom end $4500 Machining of parts in the bottom end $1800-2000 (should be finished next week) head work $2500 then the assembly costs, that is with out all the hang on items outside the block eg; computer, forced induction parts water pump etc. stroking the motor has never come into the equation. forced induction will be a twin screw supercharger (whipple 305r) complete with intercooler, bug catcher so.... STROKED nar I'd rather be BLOWN |
