What experience/results has anyone had doing a .030 bore stock stroke low deck? I'm starting to think I might want to try one. I want a street strip turbo combo for an Abody. I was on a kick of a 451" but now I'm second guessing. I would think that an aftermarket stock stroke crank with BME rods and thick crowned Pistons would be pretty durable. I think with moderate boost on this size engine I would be right at what the block could take with bulletproof guts in the bottom.
I've been thinking of this a lot and a recent comment by Jerry Kathe in a different thread goes along the line of the same thinking. Lightweight quality components, lower piston speed, and better bore integrity especially at the bottom of the cylinder?
Not a lot of stroke, not turning a ton of rpm, and good geometry? I have a 230 block and a 630 block to work with, that's why I ask.
