400 Rebuild/Stroker Build Newbie Questions

I've heard that strokers don't have a lot of life to them.
Yes Ive heard that too.Maybe if you hammer the crap out of them.
As I said mine were done 20 or so years ago. I did 2 cross country trips,long hauled on 2 Hot Rod Power Tours.I also drag raced the car for 2 seasons all over the country.Put a little over 30,000 miles on it then transplanted the engine in a friends son's Cuda and did another long haul Power Tour.He racked up another 10,000 miles and it's still in the car.It sits mostly as now he is into diesel trucks.
Oh yeah, both cars were manual transmission cars.
The other 451 was put in a 64 Fury and only racked up about 8,000 miles.Then the car was sold.Here is when we built the Cuda for the 2007 Hot rod Power Tour.100_1164.JPG 100_1169.JPG
