Alot of people that run in classes where cid is limited will destroke an engine. The only problem with it is that your power bandis usually in the 7-9k rpm range. Good for racing as long as you have a hell of a stall. People might run them with manual's, idk.

RE: 351w w/2 bolt mains

So what are the common "destroke" set ups...how do the stroke and rod lengths change? does the much lower compression allow for more hp on non-dart blocks.
