Default To stroke or not to stroke my 427
Hello all, I'm getting close to buying pistons and heads for my 427 project and I am considering using a 428 crank to stroke it to 454 cubic inches. Since I need to bore the block and buy new pistons anyway, I figured I might as well stroke it. The thing is, I already have a nice Lemans crank so I am wondering if the performance will be noticably better at 454ci, or should I just go with the shorter stroke Lemans crank. Any opinions? Thanks, Tom.
