It is true you would have a hard time getting more than maybe %10 more TQ without stroking it. MPG can easily be improved.

A stroker is a lot more money if you are on a tight budget, $150 turn a crank, $200 balancing (although with the KB107 you may get away without it), $266 summit kb107, re-use stock rods=$616 you can not buy a new stroker crank balancing and pistons for that even at the best sale prices. The cheapest possible way would be a SCAT crank and stumble on some NOS mopar cast pistons and even at that you will not get tight quench and decent compression without milling your block a lot.

I disagree. Just a quick search, Ohio Crankshaft has cast 4" 360 main cranks for $345. http://www.ohiocrank.com/mopar_cranks.html. If you are buying KB pistons the stroker pistons price is nearly the same. You would need to balance the crank either way. Reuse the stock rods. So if you have to turn the stock crank the difference is only about $200. If you don't need to turn the crank then you are only looking at about $350 difference. Where's the big expense? You are still boring and decking the block.
