stroker life span?

72dart_swinger said

Wouldn't that suggest that a stroker 360 (4 inch bore with a 4 inch stroke) would last longer than a non stroker? And dont most stroker 360 make around 400 hp, more than 3/4 hp per cubic inch, closer to 1hp per cubic inch. Not trying to be a smart alek but I am curious

Having a stroked motor does not ensure HP. HP is going to come from cam, timing, ignition, intake/head flow and fuel supplied. Torque numbers will be alot higher from the start. I could build a 408 stroker and put all the factory 360 gear back on top and HP will still suck.

Like mentioned before,,,length of motor life = quality of build & amount of abuse it sees.
