What do you guys think of this combo in a stock block with a girdle?
Since you asked and based on your stated goal...I think Dwayne (and some others) answered your question but it went unrecognized? The extra stroke will help add compression but you can do the same with a piston. If you are set on changing the combination of parts...I'd put the longest rod you can on a crank 3.75 to 4" and SPIN it for power make the bobweight under 2000 gms on a 2.1 pin. Put BETTER work and parts in your top end and it'll make the same power at 451" as it will at 541" but the bobweight and longer rod will help it live.
