I know there was a 4.2 litre stroker kit for the buick V6, but i dont know who makes them.

You could always go for an ecotech conversion, there is a bit of stuffing around but the power gains would be noticeable. not to mention C.O.M.E make a stroker kit for the ecotech.

i wouldnt stroke the buick v6, would cost too much and there arent any tryed and proven stroker kits for it,so it would be alot of guess work.
if you were to port the heads and manifold, de-bur the block and cross-hatch score the cylinders you would get some nice grunt happenining.
match that up with a stage 3 cam,performance timing chain,roller rockers, and the usual breathing mods (extractors,etc.) you'd have a serious performer on your hands.
cost you a bit though,lol

how much would you say that would set me back
i was having second thoughts about strokin it i was gonna go stage 2 cam

[sircruisealotVS]

well if you port the heads you can go stage 3 cam....thats the only reason i said that.
all up for everything i mentioned it would be in the ball park of $3k....depending how much labour you can do yourself and where the heads/manifold/block need to be sent to be done.

[stockvp]

i was planning to have a talk with mechanic and im pretty sure iwas gonna giv it port polish but do i really need to get extractors as i have 2.5 from cat back

[stockvp]
