Anyone know of a FORGED 305 stroker kit???

I'm thinking of stroking my 305 as it will be appart for a rebuild with forged parts. The only stroker kits I have seen come with hyper. pistons and rods. Surely there must be someone who does a forged kit.

Can anyone help me out here?

Speedomotive doesn't list any on their web site and powerhouse only do one with hyper. pistons.

Anyone know of anywhere else?

You should contact both of them and tell them you want forged parts, see what they say. Not everyone advertises everything they sell. And of course the price will go up accordingly.

btw, just IMO, a 305 stroker is a waste of cash. Just running a 350 instead is cheaper and easier. Nobody can tell by looking under the hood you have a 334 and lots of money in it.

I agree there! The money would be much better spent on a 350 or even a 383! There's no replacement for displacement!!
