Rumblefish,

Yes, a longer stroked motor would have certain benefits over a stock(as originally manufactured) engine and I had hesitated in even mentioning it as didn't "seem" to be what the "Live Large" was interested in doing. In his later post he seemed to confirm this idea.
I "suspect" his ideas are more towards a different camshaft, making the heads flow better and possibly a different intake/carb set up. As you well know, when starting to change items in the rotating assembly now requires intervention of a reputable machine shop adding more cost/s and further delays.
If he can spell out more of what his own thoughts are, we can all share our opinions based on that information, otherwise we are just guessing/assuming.


PS: A 408 would have been "my" choice, but that wasn't one of the options.
