what all do i need?

[87banshee_rider]

i have a completely stock motor and im gunna get a 4 mil stroker. i wasnt planning on getting porting done just yet so im not sure what all i need. I want it to run on premium gas and on stock pistons if possible. I guess what im askin is can i buy the crank, pistons, pipes, spacer plate and put it together like a stock motor and drive it or do i HAVE to have some things in particular to make it work.i looked around on the search but couldnt find the info i was looking for. any help would be appreciated

I think you would be better off going with porting and pipes rather then getting a 4 mill crank and stufff right now..you will get more gain from the porting and pipes

if you put a 4mill stroker in and dont get the porting changed to match it you are wasting yourtime in my opinion. I would get the cylinders ported for your riding style then when you get board with that pending on your builders porting style you can get the 4mill and have the cylinders reported to match. or if your builder will not report them you can get all kinds of stock cylinders on ebay for cheap since the cub motors came out.

If you still decide to go w/ a stroker and wanna stay on the cheap you'll need:

 

crank (longrod is usually better)

795 series pistons (to accomodate longrods)

cut stock head to accept added stroke

carbs

pipes

reeds

intakes

air filters

billet impeller (since you're in there anyway)

porting

chain/sprockets

gaskets, seals, fluids, assorted rebuild stuff

 

Basically w/ pipes the best ur gonna do is about $2500-ish. A stroker w/out porting gives you very little added power. Oh and I wouldn't recommend the spacer plate route.

Most builders say they can't stroke a previously ported motor. I am sure there are cases where it is possible, but something to think about. I think you may be amazed at how well a good builder can make a straight 350 run. May just want to talk to a few and fell them out, let them know you want to go faster now, but even faster later. Then you will have some options to weigh to help you make a good decision.

 

Also, speak to your builder on the short or long rod issue. I spoke to Dan at Patriot and he says one of the fastest stock drag ports he has done used the short rod, faster out of the hole. I had alredy purchased the long rod stroker crank, so that is what I went with.

Longrods don't rev up as quick or as high, but they increase reliability so most non-racers go that route.
