There are many stroker kits for the LT1, just get one that is balanced. There may be some clearencing work that has to be done to the block. To get the full benefit of the stroker, you will need a hotter cam, larger injectors, and the PCM will need to be tuned.

Couple hundred. It all depends on who you get to do it.
