Advice on pre-built stroker

[nealt]

Hi, I'm new to the stroker forum, but have been wanting to have a stroker for a long time. I found a shop in town that has a pre built 4.6L short block for $2000. Apparently, a customer had requested it and couldn't pay for it.

There are a few details that I need to confirm with him, but here's what I know:
- one year warranty
- He says it has the better 258 crank. I'm assuming the 12 cwt?
- hypereutectic pistons (H225CP .030)
- clevite bearings
- durabond hardware kit
- ARP bolts
- 258 connecting rods
- cam not included

Labor:
- degrease, mag,prep
- line hone block
- grind 258 3.895 stroke crank
- surface block
- align hone block
- re + re cam bearings and frost plugs
- bore and fit pistons
- resize rods
- balance rotating assembly
- assemble short block

What else would you need to know about this before you felt comfortable buying it??
Do you think this is a reasonable price?

Thanks

No reason to assume its a 12wt crank. That is one of the things I would want to know, even there really isn't a noticeable much difference. I would also want to know how much its was overbored, what pistons, what size bearings, and deck clearance at least.

$2000 might be a bit high for a pre built short block.
