Would you guys recommend taking a chance on this stroker kit?  I have not looked at it yet but plan to this weekend.  He seems motivated to sale so I thought a starting offer of between $200 and $250 then settle for $300 if possible.  I know the crank has to be turned.  I would have the rods resized and fitted with ARP bolts.  Opinions\advice?

Its a crap shoot until your machine shop can inspect the parts. If everything is in good shape and you can be all in after machining for $700-$800 bucks its a good deal. Caveat Emptor.

Also, assuming you intend a pump gas build you need to determine what dish and compression height of the piston is to make sure it will net a compatible compression ratio.

Bear in mind that new BBF stroker kits can be had pretty reasonably and you can custom tailor most kits in regards to compression ratio, based on your heads/bore and stroke. Machine work is getting somewhat pricey these days, so turning a crank, reconditioning a set of rods and installing new bolts may not make a economic sense anymore.
