"I just figured a stroker is just another form of motor building. Look, all I'm looking for is a tire fryer for the car shows. I figure that I can do it three ways, 1)produce power with rpms which means higher quality parts which equals higher build costs, 2)build a big displacement low rpm motor and let the cubic inches create the power which does not require high quality components which translates to lower cost"
Ok - we're getting closer to reality by my definition anyway...lol. Many enthusiasts have read a lot, and are fixated on numbers without ever having the opportunity to really experience the ups and downs of those big numbers.
The Challenger with a 505 I built some years ago will break tires loose at 1/2 throttle in 3rd on street tires. If you go full throttle it goes right to the limiter in three gears (4sp). It can be disconcerting rolling on the throttle on an on ramp and having the rear try to pass you. In rain it's dangerous.
What you can do it with is a 440, with decent heads, good machining, and solid parts. Those are much more reasonable to do within restrictions. You might not have 600 pound feet - but from first hand experience a real 600 pound feet car is a challenge to drive safely and more than you might want.
