One problem with a stroked 273 is that despite the extra cubic inches, the bore size would limit valve size and breathing. I would think that it would make a lot more torque.



Relative to what, a 273, duh, a stroked 318, no, a stroked 340, no, a stroked 360, no. Stroking just makes more or less more torque realtive to hp, not just goobs of torque.



What I read into this recipe was a 273 with a few more cubes, and a light rotating assembly. So in a nut shell, it isn't necessarily building up a powerhouse 273, but building a well balanced 273 with a light rotating assembly that will spin up to 7.5, maybe even 8K RPM's. Therefore upping the HP, not just torque. Something that would work out great in an early A-Body. Aside from the "knowns" of what other motor combo's have proven, it would be interesting (IMO) to see the numbers this recipe would make.
