Navy Horn 16, Iots of generalities here; most are grossly inaccurate. One, engines with long strokes use longer rods as a rule. Longer rods decrease piston speed. Two, if done correctly (lighter pistons, pins, and connecting rods) a stroked engine is under no more stress than the base engine was. There are literally tens of thousands of stroked SBCs, BBC., SBFs, FE Fords, 385 series Fords, LA series Chrysler’s, R/RB Chrysler’s, Hemis of all series, LS, and Pontiacs that have been successful stroked without destroying the base engine. You MIGHT want to read a book or two on engine theory BEFORE opining.
