For a pure street car cruiser maybe don't stroke it, but if you have to start from scratch and buy an entire rotating assembly I see no reason not to stroke it. Still waiting on the answer to this. Also are you planning on buying new/better rods ? What work are you doing to the heads , and fast68plymouth brings up a good point on the pistons ... says the guy with a $1200 dollar set of pistons and ported 906's running up my post count some more .

If I'm building a stock appearing 440 (original intake/heads/exhaust) with an upgraded 750-850 cfm Holley carb, does it make sense to do a stroker kit? The block had to be bored .030 already. I don't want to spend the extra $$ on the stroker kit if I am limiting the capacity of the engine with these stock components. No reason to upgrade to a stroker with the original parts you want to reuse (original intake/heads/exhaust). Wasted money 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

What work are you doing to the heads , and fast68plymouth brings up a good point on the pistons ... says the guy with a $1200 dollar set of pistons and ported 906's I really appreciate all the thoughts on this... Thanks! Mostly just for fun street use. The pistons are going to be new... not sure about the rods yet. Planning on 906 heads with a little bowl work, hardened seats, 3-angle, etc. I need to stay with stock intake because the car has N96 and extra height will cause an issue with clearance.
