Stroker or Not

I totally agree with going with a stroker if you want a nice docile street car that'll run fantastic with 3.23 gears and a lower stall converter. When I first built my Cuda I did up a nice healthy 360 and it ran great with 4:10's but man they sure sucked if you wanted to do 60 or more down the hwy. Built a mild 408 for it last year and put 3.55's in it and it runs a lot stronger (easily a 1/2 second quicker than the 360 was with 4:10's), can easily run 75 down the hwy. if I want too and gets nearly double the fuel mileage. I know more cubes usually hurt fuel mileage but if you stay on the mild side on the cam (mine's a small solid that's 240 at .050 and .518 lift on a 108 lca) converter and gears it can do ok. The only drawback with a stroker is heads. Strokers need to breath. You can make X or J heads work but your better off going with a set of prepped RHS like Brian OU812 sells, or a decent set of properly prepped aluminum heads.
