A stroker kit contains the needed components to replace your rotating assembly for a larger engine. For example, a 302 can be bored over to a 331, requiring different pistons and associated components. These kits will include a forged crankshaft, performance pistons, stronger rods, new bearings, and piston rings to match.
This not only allows you to have a larger cubic inch engine, but it also gives you a forged internal setup to allow you to get more power and performance from your engine.
