So I'm looking around for people to rebuild my engine and one person suggested that I go ahead and stroke it. Is that really worth it and what's the process?? I take it that it's going to be way more expensive than just rebuilding the engine?

 

Take a stock 350 crank and offset grind it to 3.50 from the standard 3.385. Plus you can bore the block if you want to 4.125 for added cubic inches. Imo it's worth it and it's not much more than standard rebuild. In fact some of the parts are cheaper.

Do a search, there are may posts on here regarding the same.

 

We've had this discussion before, and I usually take the dissenting opinion, but I have to say once again that the cheapest way to "stroke" a 350 Olds is to replace it with a 455. You get a 4.25" stroke that way.
