For the same price as a stroker, you can put in a 351. That's what I'd do. But if not, there's no point in a stroker if the thing can't breathe. h/c/i first, then you'll see the full benefit of a stroker

Well building a stroked motor is like updating your stock engine
Stock bore with 3.25 rod length= 331
.40 bare with 3.40 rod length =347
Someone correct me if my numbers are wrong-its what i heard or read somewhere.........
Also something heard something like the 331's are better, forget how but whos knows
