I know there are the stroker options, and there are just standard rebuild options.
Right now I'm looking at both. I have had a knock in my 4.0 for nearly 100k miles and I'm approaching 185k miles I figure its time to start looking and saving some money.
I have seen rebuild kits going from anywhere from $400-1200. How Do I know whats good?
Building a stroker is going to cost me a bit more and I worry about the reliability.
At this point I dont really feel like I need any more power if I just have a reliable motor so i feel my best option would be put the money toward a high quality rebuild kit.
Also, some of them come with camshafts and lifters and some dont.. I dont know if I need to do new ones or not.
Here is one from RPM Machine, i read about them alot from the stroker guys

any knowledge on the subject? Rather than throw in a junkyard motor I feel like I know how mine was treated (fairly well...wait hmmm). I have also entertained finding a long block and rebuilding it and then swapping it over.
