Good article on basic stroker theory

That is a great article. And I appreciate the agrument that BJR makes, but I have a hard time believing the statement 'the 360 will make as much power as the stroker counterparts'. My intuition says the extra 48 or 56 cubic inches will make up for the difference in the rod/stroke ratio. But what do I know?

Anyway, you guys may find this engine table interesting. It shows the bore, stroke, rod length, rod/stoke ratio and bore/stroke ratio of many different engines. Unfortunately it is not complete, but the few engines I am familiar with seem to be accurate.

Also, by looking at that table it is interesting to see how a Mopar 360 compares to a Chevy 350. Not only does the Mopar have 10 more cubes due to the extra .1" stroke, but the rod/stroke ratio is better. :thumblef:
