? about that 3.65” crank

I'll confess I'm a short stroke fan and have never quite bought into the stoker fanfare. I have had them, and probably will in the future, but I don't think the payback is all that it's cracked up to be. Does a 526 Hemi make more power than a 426 Hemi? Probably, but not as much as the cubes would suggest. The obstacle to high RPM is usually valvetrain related and can be expensive so that's a real barrier for a lot of guys. Unless it's a BB Chevy in which case they kick rods out first, lol.
