If budget is tight then sleeve the 2 bad cylinders. If budget is not "Uncle Tony" tight then indulge in the hobby and stroke it. (If you didnt know Tony Defeo builds engines on an EXTREME budget.)
You mean the ones that eat themselves on the dyno like the one they tried to dyno at Nicks Garage?
Tony was a great writer for the rags and has some good ideas but his execution is lacking.
As for a mild stroker for the street, that's exactly what I built. Our 505" RB uses an 11" converter and 3.54 gear. It is a great street toy and pulls down 11 mpg on the highway with an old school carb.
We used it yesterday to beat up on full on race cars at the track and win the 11.50 index. A shot of spray has propelled it to 10.33 @ 130.
