Crank is shot, do I stroke it or not?

Crank is shot, do I stroke it or not?

A couple of things here jumped off the page at me.

I'm not looking for all out horsepower.

And:

This route would mean I'd probably have to put the 8 1/4" back under the car since I don't have the funds to rebuild the 8 3/4" with different gearing, which is fine because then I don't have to modify my driveshaft either.

In my mind, if you don't have it in the budget to do the 360 and rebuild the 8 3/4, then how would you make the stroker happen?

It seems to me that building a stoker motor would cost more than the 360 rebuild and the rearend combined.

A well put together 360 will make plenty of power for these little A bodies, IMO. A fun little package.

With that said, in your scenario, if you can afford to build a stroker, I would do the 360 and rebuild the 8 3/4 with better gearing and a suregrip.

Just my 2 pennies.
