Your heading back into the hi-performance area again.
Are you sure you want to go there?

Hi-performance area? I was hoping that a stroker can be build for street drive. If I'm wrong and a strocker cant be build as a street drive I will have to build the 360 so, which head, pistons and cam will be a good setup?

I don't have any experience with stroker engines and I had read some statements that appear to be myths, these are some:

-stroker engine will not last long than a non stroker engine
-stroker engine can easily crack the block
-stroker engine always has rough idle
-stroker engine works hotter than non-stroker
-stroker engine can only be build to high rpm applications

Are those statements true or not?

The basic approach of a stroker engine is weak, because it disturbs the bore/stroke ratio and con-rod to stroke ratio. One thing is for sure. Fuel economy will deteriorate compared to the stock engine.
