I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff, but a 383 stroker is just a bored and stroked 350. I'd imagine your referring to a mopar 383? I'd imagine that's just displacement? Again, I know very little so I'm sure someone will chime it to answer better

I'm just bustin your balls on adding the word "stroker" to your engine size.

Alot of people do it. Somehow it became part of the name for a 383cid sbc and a 496 bbc.

Ahhh. I was just under the impression then "stroker" label was added on with the longer rod or "stroke" . Again. I'm still Learning all this lol

You can go with a longer rod without changing the stroke, The stroke if changed by the throw of the crankshaft

If you think of the crankshaft as a lever, the longer the lever, the further the up and down distance will be, the greater the distance, the longer the stroke.

Rod length is an entire story to itself. Readers digest version, it effects the leverage the piston has on the crank, the tdc and bdc dwell time and keeps things from smacking into each other.

Ya, so the larger radius swing of the crank as opposed to a stock one

Phragle's a stroker, but we don't call'm Phragle Stroker...right ?


LOL.

Some history, did you know that the 350 and the 454 are strokers too ?

Wrong thread.

Short stroke, short rod, but can rev it to the moon............

Hope she's got a Pan Evac system !
