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 Mainstream Media is the new Pravda

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 9.38@138.67 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

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.
