hey guys is it true that you can make a 2.8 into a 3.4 buy changing the crank and rods? ive seen 2.8-3.1 stroker kits on ebay (crank rods pistons bearings rings) but all i need is crank and rods and i was wondering if anybody new where i could get this type of kit. thanks in advance

You can get the kit here, this is where i'm getting mine

http://www.engine-parts.com/

 

how much are they charging? Long or short block?

The 3.1 stroker kit is around $500.00 + shipping

 

I know this is not the cheapest way to do it, but it sure is fun souding.

 

Actually I'm pretty sure you have to replace the block too. The kit on engine-parts.com is only a 2.8-3.1 stroker kit. They also sell a 3.4 block that you can just swap with your 2.8 block, but that isn't a kit its a whole new block, as i read it anyway. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

I believe your right on this. You could only buy a stroker kit for the 2.8-3.1, but not for a 2.8-3.4. YOu have to buy the block which I believe they wanted 895 for. So you are correct it is a whole new block.

I must say I never saw this site before but It was good too see, I might order the Phase 2 Cam from them.

 

I have been dealing with a sales rep. at the site and they have more then what is listed there.

You can get a 2.8 ==> 3.1, or a 3.1 ==> 3.4.

They also carry a crap load of stuff to add to your nice new stroker. Your best bet will be to talk and deal directly to a sales rep. no matter who you go through.

 

lets push this company so they continue to make more products.. Buy this stuff up...

 

Yea, I found em on Ebay originally, they are a killer site for modding the good ole 2.8 or 3.1. And I agree with syxx, everybody start supporting them.............EVERYBODY SCREW YOUR RENT PAYMENT THIS MONTH...........JUST SPEND IT AT ENGINE-PARTS.COM. Okay, maybe not such a good idea.
