Ok, i may sound a little retarded on this one. I want to do a 350 to 383 stroker. I am told all i need to do this is a 400 crank. i am told i can use stock rods and pistons. What i dont get is how putting in a 400 crank gets you soo much more horsepower. What about having a longer stroke is soo much better. and is it true i can use stock rods and pistons? is it really as simple as going to the junk yard, finding an old 400, pulling the crank, slapping it into your 350, and wam you got a lot more balls. i dont believe it is that easy, if it were then why are stroker kits selling for upwards of 500 dollars. i hope you guys can answer my ?s. thanks.
