Advantages of a stroker for daily driver

prices are a little higher now, and they spent money on things they didnt need. valve covers, brand new carb...

heads are half the cost... if you built smart on the other stuff this could be your luxury item :D

they left out new pistons / hot tankining the engine

i mean if you are taking all down and balancing, wouldnt you probably have the block dipped, honed (bored if needed)?

you can also pick up a used 360 for much less than $350 if you shop around.
