Red says he can build a stroker for $7000 to include carb, intake, exhaust manifolds, power steering pump etc ready to sit it in and bolt it down to your drive and lake test it. Now you just need to make enough space in the engine compartment for it to fit.

Thats about the size of it Barb, that would be an identical motor to mine, if I installed it and done the lake test. What a lot of folks don't realize when I give them a total package price is the assy's, alt, p/s pump, distribution pump, belts, hoses, exhaust manifolds, tubes, carb and intake, spark arestor and cover, thunderbolt ignition, wires & plugs, just those things cost me, for my stroker, $2059.00  my crank rods and pistons cost almost $1500, the aluminum heads were just over $1000 with the full roller rockers, and the light weight flywheel was, I think, $85 it only weighs 25 pounds, this motor is just over 200 pounds lighter than a stock 260hp Mercruiser motor.

Oh,  Barb ... by the way, I bought a new 4hp gear reduction starter for the stroker today   ;D
