ok stroker guru's, gig this one

A 4" stroker has less dwell time due to higher piston speed.

MT here's something to ponder.

The SB Mopar stroker that uses a 4" stroke and 6.123" rods has a rod ratio of 1.53"

The 454 Chevy uses a 4" stroke and a 6.135" rod for a rod ratio of 1.53"

So it seems the stroked Mopar is in the same range of a stock 454 Chevy and the 454 lasted good.

454's are rod cacking p's of sht

I've seem more 454's with spun rod bearings than I've seen good running one's.

early 273/318 floater rods are stronger than 454 rods, no joke, 454 rods are thin lil popsicle sticks that taper to a tooth pick at the small end.
