Stroker kits :nono:
like EG6 said just pick up a b20 shortblock, do some work to it so it can handle high rpms reliably, and you will have a quick all motor car.

A properly built b20 block....ie forged crankshaft, internals, installed oil squirters and crank girdle, can still be a revver to 9.5k and beyond.
