as a "stock specs" guy, i've never been a big fan of stroker motors but i'm kind of coming around now. i have a couple of probably dumb questions but:
Thanks for the interest in BluePrint Engines. I'm the Products Manager of the company and we are also a site sponsor. Happy to help.
1. how are stroker motors for "regular" driving on the street? can you drive these like a OEM motor without any real tuning/reliability issues?
All of our engines are pump gas, streetable, extremely reliable, offerings. All BluePrint Engines come with a 30 month warranty, as well as fully dyno tested.
2. is your 408 10.5 compression so it runs on pump gas? We have several versions. All pump gas friendly. Please see link at bottom of page
3. are there different "sizes" of 340 strokers?
340 blocks are very hard to come by. Starting with a 360, we build our 408 stroker.
4. are 360 blocks better to do a stroker with instead of a 340? In my opinion yes, because the blocks we use are roller cam ready. I love our aluminum head, roller cam version. Which is what the OP has.
5. also, would you mind sharing the price of your motor and where you got it? i have been considering swapping out a pretty stock 340 in my 68 Barracuda for a more powerful stroker small block.
