What, in general, are the advantages and disadvantages of increasing the stroke of an engine? For instance, you can stroke a 351W to 427 to greater. How would this compare to a big block 427, assuming adequate heads, similar cam, etc., as far as torque and hp curves are concerned? What is the difference between a small bore, big stroke engine and a big bore, short stroke engine?

Thanks all,
