Re: Stroker or Roller?

Going stroker is cheap nowadays. Pistons don't cost much if anymore than a stock piston, and the crank the same. Don't need forged anything for street use. I've built a lot of motors over the years, some for drag racing, not 1 had steel crank or pistons. I never built a 383, but 400s, and the torque is awesome. Torque moves you, horsepower keeps you going. But it's the torque off the line that your gonna feel. I really don't see how you couldn't do both with what little difference between stock n stroker. It will cost more to go roller, but IMO be worth it. Maybe sell the 4 bolt block and grab a newer Vortec block, get roller and better flowing heads. Stroke that and have a healthy motor....
