You didn't say what power level you were looking for. That nice flat torque curve that I to love, come at a cost. You give up peak Hp.

If you are starting with no parts other than a block, and we are only scribbling on paper, right now. You should consider that you can drop any stroker combination you want for the same money, unless you already have a good part of your rotating assembly. There is no replacement for displacement (well other than a blower). Granted you will burn more fuel if that matters to you, but you could toss in a 4.25 stroke an get about 457 cid. That should buy you about 40 more ft-lb of torque, if it matters to you.
