you can use an L36, L32, etc, any series II or III 3800 block will work.

stroker motors dont make out to well for a turbo charger.... and 3900 is alot of money for that block from those guys lol

I think you need to get some reading done as you won't be able to blow a stroked billet crank engine. Even getting the forged crank stroker kit (hi-perf) one you are not going to break it, can throw 20+ psi at it all day.

You are thinking of the zzp stroker which no does not like turbos at all, but the COME kit is totally different and stronger, will love the boost

But I guess I will stop trying to help you out since you think you know everything already

(BTW- I thought you were selling your car, change your mind again?)

As am I. Hell, come has done 100 dyno runs with that at 20psi and then did a tear down of the engine and found it to be in perfect shape. If that doesn't show their stroker is fine with boost I don't know what will. Don't make claims before you know all the facts, there are a lot of guys who have been around longer and know more about these engines then you. So when you ask a question listen to the answers rather than make statements that are wrong. Instead inquire about the information others tell you and you won't come out looking bad. That said unless you have about 10-15K I wouldn't try to do a good FI stroker build up.

I wouldnt waste my money. Whens the last time you heard of a stock block failing?

Re: whats blocks our available for the 3.8L

I haven't but if you want to push a lot of boost some forged internals make for peace of mind, and that stroker makes more power down low where the turbo is still spooling.
