So with this kits http://competitionproducts.com/products.asp?dept=817, are your basically putting in a new engine? Or are you just adding the internals to be a stroker?

My advice is, don't use a Darton sleeve kit. A good 408 will be built from an iron block LS engine. The blocks don't cost much. You cannot make this from a used aluminum engine, although you can from a used GM truck engine (it its the right casting) - you can bore out iron, but not aluminum.
Iron block, (new) don't cost much, and are bulletproof.
