Sometimes I like to ponder a possible buildup for my Demon. Not having spare money means a purchase here and there with parts put in storage till the day arrives it can all be put together. The new kits are the way to go and are a great value. 15 years ago the cost was more than double to do a stroker than it is now. The poor mans stroker is not cheaper if there is oddball overboring/machining required to the block and pistons. The interest to me is the concept of buying new $600 stroker crank - $135 new pistons, inspect parts and assemble. Comp Cams magnum 290 (244dur 501 lift) stamped steel rockers, new valve springs, Torker intake and big holley. Engine assembled with already owned parts and parts available used. Stock but sound OEM iron heads with the goal of stealth heads in the future.
