If I were you, I'd keep it a down to a 331 just to lessen stress on the block, and I really don't think you'll miss those extra 16 cubes... other than that don't get the compression ration too high or you'll run into a whole new set of problems.

You could get a better cam than the Ford Alphabet cams. Comp's Extreme Energy series, and Crane's OTS cams would run better, or you could go custom if you don't mind spending more money. Otherwise, it's basically a beast

Comp, Crane, Lunati, Isky etc all make good cams. If you want a custom grind, you call them or go online and they have a card to fill out with everything, heads, engine size, intake, gears, vehicle weight, how you intend to use it etc, and then they grind a cam for you. Compression is gonna dictate the fuel you use, and the cam. Street engines you want to keep to 10-11:1 max with aluminum heads to control detonation on pump fuel

Yeah...and to get that, you're not going to be using "dished pistons", as those are low compression. You'll need flat-top pistons with valve reliefs.

Haven't even begun to look into this aspect, but reading around on another forums, Adperformance, I think in WA, gives some nice discounts on stroker kits, think they use basically eagle stuff, and you can talk to them, tell 'em what your doing and they will figure it out.....was on another late model forum..
