Todd,

Just my limited bit, but having both a big block and a stroker, I would say that it was easier to get the 500+ out of the big block as I didn't really have to have much done. The engine builder told me that for what I had to do with the stroker to get that I could get over 600 from the big block. I like them both and for daily crusing or just running around the big block is my choice as I don't have to have it up in the higher RPM range to enjoy the power and torque. The big block is in an original 1969 Ford Torino Cobra that I still have the original tires on. The car weighs 3,900 pounds and still accelerates like a bomb, especially once I get past the 90 MPH mark. But with the 43 year old Goodyear Polyglas tires on it I won't do that nay more.

Ron
