a stroker kit..

[mclarenkid69]

i wanted to maybe get more power but not want to spend my life savings on it lol i saw a 350 motor stoked to 396, does any one know about this.. im looking for anwsers

where would i do it and what kind of process would it go though aswell as how much?

A stroker kit is pretty expensive.. like 400 dollars atleast?

The 396 kit consists of a Hotrods stroker crank and piston. You have to tear the motor down, split the cases, replace the crank, and bore your cylinder to 84mm. Don't quote me, but i think you can buy the kit for about 600US.

 

[mclarenkid69]

****.. hmm is it worth it like for the power?

 

[dswwarrior350]

Couldnt tell you if its worth it. But i dont know for sure how much you will actually gain with this stroker over just buying some high end mods for the motor instead.

You dont have to split the cases..just drop the crank in

You will gain torque..b/c your increaseing the stroke..u gain by increasing the CC's of the motor

 

[dswwarrior350]

i would like to see you drop in a new crank assembly

Um...Amigo, not to bust your balls, but where do you think the crank is located???

(i'll give you a hint.... I'ts between cases!)

 

[dave76]

Should be able to get the Hotrods stroker for about $550, and if you got a decent exhaust, filter and cam, then expect around 34HP, mabe 1 or 2 more with a good ported head. And you do need to split the cases, in fact you need to pull the motor from the quad. You don't have to pull the entire trans appart, just the right side of the case.

+1 to dave. Good info as always.

We didnt have to split the cases on my buddies 400ex when he did the 460 hotrods stroker

Explain how you got the crank out then, what did you use some kind of magic.

isnt the 446 kit on fst just a lil bit more expensive so if you are going to spend 600 why not spend the extra money?

True but you have to deal with Mickeys schedual and might not get get it back for a while. But it's well worth it.

yea if you can wait for the offseason of riding so you can get your moneys worth and get it done fast

 

[courchaine]

Dude, it's impossible to change a crank without splitting the crank on any gasoline engine....don't try to show the mechanical skill that you don't have....
