has a "kit" using eagle connecting rods, crank... Not sure but I don't think they come with gaskets, oil pump, etc.

If you have alot of money http://www.thunderracing.com has lunati 6" connecting rod stroker assemblies for around $1800

I don't have any personal experience, but I've heard that the Lunati kit's are excellent. I was bidding on one on Ebay a few months ago, and when discussing with several people, I got favorable responses about them.

I'm not at home right now, or I would give you some links from where I was looking into them.

I got stroker kit pre-balanced from enginekits.com...
Not a bad kit.
Unfortunately, I was not able to use the "CR-3" rods which are pretty much stock rods that have been re-worked and have ARP bolts.
Problem was getting the necessary clearance for the cam (.530/.560" lift) I was using.

I'm now looking for some H-beams that will not need any clearance work to clear the cam. (There goes the balance work.. )

If I had been able to get my cam in a small base circle version, it might have been ok.
