Re: 383 stroker kit questions?

Not sure how a block can be bored/honed without pistons in hand...?

Assuming that the main bore is straight then yes, the only additional work is to clearance for the crank. This is a non-precision operation, i.e. the machinist typically just grabs a grinder and hits the right spots which are now pretty well-known.

My local shop *always* clearances the block for stroker-clearanced rods as part of their prep - they don't even charge for it any more.
