Boring is making the cylinder wall even larger. This is usually done to clean up any scratches or misperfections that could have been caused by normal wear and tear prior to the tear down if any.
Stroking is adding length to the stroke of a crankshaft.
Stroking an engine requires new crank, pistons and rods. Special notches are usually done to the block as well to make room for the rods. Boring just requires replacing of the pistons.
Cost varies... You can pick up new pistons from $15-$80+ a piece. Plus having the machine work done.
Check your local machine shop for prices.
