There is a guy on ebay that about once a month, or so, sells new Radix kits for 42 or 4300. claims they are brand new. You just have to catch when he puts one up.
If you had a 6.0 block, the costs to bore it out .030 is around 300-500 (depending on shop), add in an Eagle Stroker assy for $2k (all forged and balanced), cost to build 500-800 (depending on shop again) and you end up with about $3300 in cost to build a stroker 408. This means you remove old and put in new as well. Add $400 for 42lb injectors, bringing costs to $3700 and you have a setup that can handle a whole lot of juice.
Personally, I wish I would have known how cheap it could be to build a stroker and that is where I would have started, instead of with the $4700 cost of the Radix that I did. Ended up there anyway.
