Not Ranked

OK, so we know that a lot of the guys are running stroked 351W blocks. We know its safe to go to a 408 (keeping the stroke under 4") Knowing that you have a budget (we all do) I would think the best options is to purchase a good 408 Stroker kit. Get a good kit that uses good parts. You wont be disappointed... I personally met a guy with a 351W stroked to 427. This short block was pro built. The guy didnt beat on the car but after about 2 years (summer use only) one of the pistons pushed a hole through the side of the block. He suspects this is from the heavy side load from the 4.170 stroke.
This is the reason that I decided to keep the stroke under 4" (personal preference).
