340 to 372 stroker kit

The OPs plan for a 379 inch 3.58 inch stroke small block is really as good as it gets, especially if the decision is made to get the W2s worked up to their potential. It would still have more than enough torque to blow the tires off at will. With the right cam, induction, and headers it would pull into the higher rpms more like a built 340 than the longer stroke engine would. Even though high rpm is harder on overall longevity, the top end rush and raw sound of running on the high side of 7 grand with a strong small block that pulls only as hard as it is revved is a pure adrenaline hunt! If I had a usable .060 over 340 and W2s lying around, I couldn’t help but to want to build that type of thrill ride. Put in some 4.30 gears and a close ratio four speed and your face would lock into perm-grin with every trip.
