Stroker build question - 08/24/09 03:54 AM
Ok, so you can get any stroker kit from 500 to 528 c.i. from 440Source for the same price. Why would you settle for a 500" stroker when for the same $$ you can have a 528" ????

First, he advertises the kits for a .060 over bore. Most factory blocks are not safe with longer strokes at .060 over, and there are aspects of the kits that you ned to pay atention to. Such as the ability to use the factory style internal pickup, or oil ring supports, piston compression heights, etc.

The 511 or 512 inch that "440 Jim" and
others build on here seem to do real well and do
not need extra cost added. Is there really a lot
to gain adding 16 inches?
Just one way to look at it. I'm sure others
have a different way to look at it.

Thanks to moper and the rest of the guy's for the
facts on this. I kind of look at it a simple
way. The 511 or 512 inch that "440 Jim" and
others build on here seem to do real well and do
not need extra cost added. Is there really a lot
to gain adding 16 inches?

So its just a matter of determining if there's a good reason not to go the extra cubes. Brandon at 440Source says there should be no issue with the compression height of the 528 combo.
If, given the same combo of parts, a 512 made more torque and hp than a 528 then that would be a good reason !!!
