Advantages of a stroker for daily driver

Did the guy fall asleep, while shifting into 2nd? Seriously, I still have my original 70 Duster, with a 340, 284; 484 cam. Stock except for the 700 carb and Mallory hyfire. I can run with anything on the street. This same car came with a 318, manual 3 speed, open 3.23. put a 500 carb on it, so big, re-jetting nightmare. With some tweaking (carb, valve springs, traction bars; I was at the 1/8 track, beating buddies with 383 cuda, 69 306, 350 hp chevelle, would only lose by 2 car lengths to a Duster 340 with 3.91 gears.)

You can get power of of small cubes. Just talk to people. That 340 screams. Almost stock. Kinda wants more octane than 91; broke a piston top land off.

Mileage? I thought these were for fun. Durability? Stock with cam and carb; yes. Stroker? don't keep your foot in it. It's all in fine tuning; figuring out what the engine wants/needs.

Darn, I wish we had computers and forums back in 1967. Would have wasted less $.
