170 stroker turbo build

Thanks for all your input guys. Please just bear with me and let me throw a few things around, we’re just talking here so this isn it costing me money lol

So first off...

I have a 198 crank to put into a 170, I have always wanted to build a 170 stroker.

so...
My idea is to build a stroker 170 keeping it relatively stock in the short block With a better cam and lifters and some mild porting to clean it up. Add an aftermarket carb and intake and make my exhaust to add a small turbo.
I don’t plan on big boost just enough to help with gas mileage and a bit of kick.

there are other upgrades I have read hear and on .org that will help improve drivability and performance. I plan on going thru those one at a time and seeing what improvement is made as I go.

Why stroke a 170, when you could just use a 198 or 225? Easier and cheaper.

I'm thinking about building a 170/198 engine, myself. But my reasoning is, in the slant six racing series, running the low deck engine puts the vehicle in the next lower class. In other words, if my car fell in "C" Nitrous with a 225 or 198 raised deck engine, it would fall into "D" Nitrous with a 170 engine or a 170 stroked to 198 cubes, with no weight change. Other then for that reason, to me, it makes no sense to spend the time and money to build a 170/198 stroker.

I don’t think I am anywhere near where I could race in the series to qualify but I do want to race it locally and drive it on the street too.
The 170/198 will rev higher and that will work well with the turbo at the top end.
