PM Corey Kruchkowski - he builds them.   He has a document that he has prepared with all the details about building one.  
I belive Bill (Bnine) also has a stroker in his rig.

I think 300 hp would great!

Doug, get a new 4.0L used off the board, and swap it in...Go winter wheeling,

Then build the stroker using your old block in your spare time....Otherwise, you won't be wheeling for the next two years as you keep saving money to build this stroker..

Atleast this way your out wheelin' whenever your not wrenching,
