When real men talk about strokers they are talking about 600 to 700 cubic inches... The kind where u need an aftermafket block to clear the crank. Ive clearance sbc blocks to build 383s, but never built a 496 as bbc rods cranks and blocks all cost about the same so might as well go huge... Thats the same reasoning hot chicks with big cans use when they are being augmented lol

Btw when youre sitting on a really fat wallet it makes ur junk look much bigger...

Hopefully your 600 to 700 cubic inch stroker comment pertains to small block stuff.

I built a 212 and used to routinely power shift at 14,750 rpms. That was leaving some on the table.

hey rat,you should have built a 283,maybe you could have shifted it at 12000 rpm.

I had a 69 302 dz motor in my suzuki samaria mudder on 44s i shifted it @9800 rpms. I went small motor low tq cuz i was running a samaria transfer case. When i kept destroying the t cases i swapped the crank and pistons to make it a 383.. And installed a stouter t case... Rm

When i think of destroked i think of putting a 350 crank un a 400 block to make a 377 as oversquare a sbc as posible that will rev to the moon...
