the four popular places for buying stroker's or stroker kits seem to be Coast, PAW, Speedomotive, and Summit. Here is a piece of an old post on this topic (slanted to 427w, but still applies to 393 etc)
Speedomotive
member Fassnake has a 427w and I believe he loves it

I think everyone is very happy with their engines.
I haven't read much from people using PAW kits but I know two or three members went that route.
If I was going to do it, I would use the shopping list on Summit's website. If you price it out, it costs probably the same as buying the engine completed...see what you think
