    Can a 5.3 be stroked?

    Is there such a option/crank?

    If there was, would it be worth it?

    you can get a 383 out of a 5.3 stroker.

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    What power would it make?

    Who makes the crank?

    What power numbers does it put out?

    i think its the sticky that allen put up of boring the 5.3 out to a 370 and getting good results.

    a 370 is better than a 383, IMHO.

    and I wouldn't spray or F/I with that 383 either, so no room for add ons.
