Torque Monster !

Stock MH heads? Did you mean MW?
Power goals?
Basic usage? Regular motor home duties?
Your question is very general. But I get the idea, I think.

What would I do? Hummm

If it were to be a hot rod?
(LMAO- day dreaming ahead....)
Hyper slugs not exceeding a 11-1 ratio
TF heads, single plane, 850 cfm 2 inch headers (min.)
4.15 crank, stock size after market rods (Scat)
Coatings? Yes, where? Well, everywhere.
Now back to the program at hand!

Cam profile and specs depends on a hoard of info not supplied.

The OD trans... Auto or manual, how many speeds and what is the final drive ratio? This changes the cams timing events and duration ...... a lot.

In building a stroker for this motor home long distance travel duty, I wouldn’t really do more than a stockish like build. Just increase the compression, (Hyper slugs) use heat coatings on the piston crown, head chamber and the back side of the exhaust valves. 2 inch headers into a 3 inch dual exhaust. I don’t know what intake height you can get away with.

I like this idea and topic.

I know this subject has been raised before but it never gets really deep ....

I have a 78 Dodge C-Class with a 440.
What I have fantasized about is doing a stroker motor and an O.D trany for it.

How would you build it ?

What crank ? 4.15 or 4.25 ...
What Rods ? How does rod ratio play into torque and reliability ?
Bore ? I am thinking as little as possible to maintain wall thickness ..
Heads ... Stock MH heads with extra cooling passages or Aluminum ?
Pistons ? raised pistons domes to create quench using stock open chambers? Forged or Hypertechs ?
Rings ?
Coatings for heat dissipation ?
Exhaust ... headers or factory truck center dumps ? 3” dual.
Cam profile ?

Lets have a deep analysis of this .

DONT MENTION DIESELS. I KNOW THEY MAKE TORQUE .

@Wyrmrider I read your posts on Speedtalk and liked your input on a similar subject but that thread died quickly.
