426 stroker, is it reliable?

Thanks for the reply.

You're right, all the opinions I have read have been hearsay.
But the last person that said it to me is very experienced in mopars and says that the 408's are only lasting 20,000mi, and that the engine builders he talks too believe the 426 would be less than that.

Now the motor I want to build will see no more than 5500rpm on a stock converter with no nos or any racing.

I appreciate your reply, but you haven't built your 426 yet so can't definitively say what the life expectancy of a mild street build will be.

If it lasts 50,000mi, before re-ringing then that's fine, but 10-20k is not enough.

I've searched far and wide on the interwebs and I can't find anyone that has long term experience with this stroker kit.

Let me know what you think.

Perfectly reliable.
Rings will last no different than any factory 360.
These assemblies are mostly running around in efi trucks like rams and dakotas just as you describe.

With some RHS/Indy heads, a milder cam and a 750 carb, it will be no slouch. That's for sure. And driven to a 5500 rpm redline it will have 100k reliability.
