which is the best stroker combo

My combo is 499", MCH ported Eddies, 263*/273* solid flat cam, 11:1, Dominator, pump gas.

515 RWHP. Basically Dwayne Porter's combo.

Oh, and I almost forgot; I've been thrashing on it for 6 years now.

451 CID
Brodix B1-BS
M-1 tunnel ram 2 9379 750's
Roller Cam 276* @ .050
525HP to the rear wheels

I have no idea what hp or torque my stroker engine makes. What matters to me is e.t. and you can see it in my sig.

My combo is a mild 451: Has a Holley 850; Eddy cleaned out heads; Eddy RPM dual plane manifold a .582" solid lift cam and 10.7 CR. Best e.t.11.79 on Firestone Firehawk true radials with best 60 ft. 1.756 with original 46 years old springs and non adjustable shocks front and rear.

Love that combo but that has not stopped me from thinking about a larger stroker.

Mine is way above that power level, but you can reduce the compression ratio, cam, and maybe the heads to suit you.

400 block, 4.375" bore
Aluminum main caps (a girdle is another option)
4.250" stroke Callies crank
6.535" long BB Chevy style H-beam rods
1.32" compression height, flat top piston (check your actual block deck height)
Deep sump oil pan, 1/2 NPT internal pickup
Comp Cams MM305S-10 solid flat tappet cam, 279/284 at 0.050", 0.650/0.630" lift, 110 LSA
Indy 440-1 heads cut to 68cc for 13.5 CR

9.20's at 3250 lbs

+9.980" Block deck height
-2.125" Half stroke (4.250/2)
-6.535" Rod Length
-1.320" Piston compression height
--------
+0.000" piston to deck

interesting ideas guys..thanks...keep em coming...

I have two motors now that can be run on pump gas, the current one is my old 511 pump gas motor,400 block with Ductile iron main caps, 4.375 bore with 4.250 stroke, it curently has a 4.300 stroke crank in it,now 518 C.I. That crank started off as a cheap Chinese imported 4.15 stroke for a 440, I had the rod journals offset ground to BB chevy rod sizes and ended up with a 4.300 stroke,6.800 long Chinese H beam BB Chevy type rods the bore is 4.375 with zero deck, Ross custom 22 CC dish pistons, (not good that is what happens with poor planning Should have had a quench piston with a reverse dome made ) The heads are Indy SR with M.W. ports that have 76.0 CC chambers,T&D single shaft 1.65 ratio rockers, Comp Cams custom ground solid roller
cam that is 260 @ .050 with .420 lobe lift on the intake lobes, 266 @ .050 with .409 lobe lift on the exhaust. Indy 400-3 intake modified by BG racing and a Holley 1050 CFM Dominator. It made 727 HP on Oregon pump gas at 4300 Ft elevation, best ET is 9.94 at 134. 5 MPH with the air cleaner and complete three inch exhaust system on The other low deck 400 stroker motor is 4.35 bore with the original 4.150 Stroke 8 bolt flange Ohio Crankshaft CO crank cut down for the 400 block on the mains, offset ground on the rods to 2.200 and we cut the counter weights down to clear the block and not have to add heavy metal, Diamond flat top pistons with two valve reliefs, 11. 3 to 1 compression, Eddy RPM CNC ported heads,Harland Sharp 1.60 ratio single shaft rocker assembly, Bullet custom ground cam that is a little bigger than the one in the first motor, Indy 400-3 intake and a Holley 1060 Dominator, it made 684 HP on a Studka calibrated dyno at 2500 Ft above sea level on 110 race gas Lots of choices out there, BTW the 518 stroker 400 block with the indy SR heads made 725 HP on the DTS dyno in Klamath at 4300 Ft using Oregon pump swill, it made 775 HP with a set of CNC ported 440-1 on it also The Eddy RPM flowed 310 at .700 lift and the SR flowed 340 CFM at .700 on the same bench by the same tech, the CNC ported 440-1 flowed 370 CFM at .700 lift 41 hp with 30 CFM more air flow with the SR and 50 more HP with 86 more CFM from the 440-1 heads

Is this street? Strip? Street & strip? What gearing, tire size and ballpark duration are we talking. There's so many aftermarket alum. big block Mopar cylinder heads out there that your question of "Best" could mean many things to different folks.

I got the Indy EZ heads due to once yur gonna spend for aftermarket why go just better than OEM?

And it was suggested to me, that the 470, offset ground crank, BBC rod journal was the max//best due to the wristpin crowding the oilring with anything bigger than that. Has that changed in the last few years?

And then there's the deed of fortifying the lower end to go bigger crankthrow. Or maybe it should be so you don't throw the crank.

With the economy like it is and all things considered--a 451 build with a stock 44o crank, good rods, any decent head and solid or solid roller is HARD to beat. I always question when a HP number is the target. A real 500 HP engine is a TON in a street machine. Many guys with big stroker street stuff just spin the hides off and never really get a good driver IMO. 451 is a winner, they rev like a chainsaw and are cheap and easy. We did a 406 CI, 383 crank, 400 block , Eddy head, solid cam that made over 600 HP on pump gas in the Amsoil Challenge--It is available as it came off the dyno

Here is my mild stroker with a 440 block that is a 493. If you used a 400 block it would be a 499.

I use a .030 over 440 with a 440Source 4.15 stroker kit. Has dished pistons for 10.6 comp with the Indy EZ heads I use. Also has good .046 quench and will run fine on 92 pump. The EZ heads have mild porting done by Dwayne Porter as he also speced the solid flat tappet cam that is 264 and 270 @ .050 with .591 lift and a 110 LSA. Dwayne Porter does awesome work for a very fair price. I use 1.6 rockers for about .631 lift and I have the cam in on a 106 centerline. Hughes roller rockers and it has an Indy dual plane intake and a Holley 850 DP. Mallory dist and MP orange ECU. This is in my 3700 lb 63 Sport Fury with a 9.5 Dynamic converter in my 727 and a Turbo Action manual valve body. Has 4.30's with a 30 x 9 tires. With SS springs and only 7 track passes so far it has run 10.70's at almost 125. I think it has 10.50's in it with some fine tuning. I estimate that to be about 600 flywheel hp. It drives great and runs on 92 pump and I race it thru the full exh system. This is just a simple mild build that I wanted to be an easy driver to drive anywhere. Ron
