408 Stroker build

For your application, you don't need a forged crank. You won't be spinning it that high, or putting that much of a load on it. That will save some dough.

Here's an excellent rotating assembly for $1,700. Pay the extra $200 for balancing, it's worth it. http://fordstrokers.com/stroker-kits...ating-Assembly

My 427 stroker made over 500 dyno proven rwhp on out of the box Dart 195 heads. The torque curve was about as flat as a table top from about 2,500 to redline. They are an excellent product, with a lot of bang for the buck. Other heads will make more peak HP, but you'll give up low end torque. Low end torque is what you want in a street car.

Comp cams makes some excellent off the shelf cams depending on the intake system you plan on using. I highly recommend EFI. I don't own anything with a carb.
