383 Stroker

[AustinDube]

Wondering about getting a stroker kit but my only consern is the balancing. The kit i found is already pre balanced but its externally balanced with a flex plate in the kit, I have a manual flywheel but found this bracket on ebay as a counter weight

I'd look for an internally balanced set up or take what you got or get to a machine shop and have it balanced. Mallory Isn't cheap but the best way IMHO.

Internal is the way to go, but if you're on a budget that plate works good, I used one on a 468 for a few years and buzzed it 7500+ with no problems..

Im looking on Ebay right now and other places and I cant really find an internally balanced crank Im not sure if they're made but some of them say they're pre-balanced but they're still externally balanced cranks

This is the kit I was looking in to

Just curious what the price is on the kit you found. Have you checked out Skip White, you can dang near ask to put your own kit together sometimes. Here is an example of an internal
balance kit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/383-STROKER...ash=item569b27e705:g:Xa8AAOSwo0JWMkNG&vxp=mtr

I asked a seller on ebay and he said he can internally balance it for an extra $125 instead of externally. and also mine is a 2 pc rms and a 4 bolt main 350

Make sure you check the clearance on the pan rails and lower cyl bores. Probably need a small base circle cam too.
