Could you stroke a .60 over 351 w

I have a early 80's 351w that has been bored .60 over and was thinking of stroking it.
1) how is the .60 over going to effect a stoker motor
2) what is the largest ci stroker kit would you recommend

I can't run this motor on pump gas so I don't drive it much
(100oct min $6.50 a gallon) I thought I would make it a stroker.

Thanks

Just make sure you order a .060 over piston. And you will be fine.060 will give you a few more inches

On the largest stroker, the 4.1" stroke seems PLENTY. With the 4.060" bore you'll have a 425. With that long a stroke you need capscrew rods to keep the rod bolt shoulders off the cam lobes.
I built a 4.140" stroker with rod bolt rods and wished I built a 4.1" with capscrew rods. Live and learn brother.

When you stroke your motor why don't consider dropping the compression below 11 to 1 while your at it. It won't cost any more on your build price, you will still have the same cubic inch displacement from a stroker kit and you will be able to run it on 93 octane pump gas! Just my 2 cents worth!

The only problem with a .060" stroker 351w is pistons..or lack of them. You'll find .030's all day long, but it seems that .060"s are a little harder to come by. Especially GOOD pistons.

Been there done that. I would have used SRPs but they didn't have .060". I used Mahle instead. Haven't raced yet, but they look to be as good/better than JE/SRP.

First of all let me say Thanks to all who replyed. As soon as me financial advisor (my wife) give me the OK I will be digging in to this project. Has anyone used the stroker kits that are listed on Ebay and if so which kit should I be considering.

If the readers here are interested I could do an article on this bulid complete with pictures.

Thanks Bozz

P.S. Is there anyone on here in or close to N.C.

if your planning on making some good grunt, 550 upwards HP i would recommend sonic testing the block. with a thin wall on the bore even if the motor did hold together at high HP highTQ ring seal issues due to bore expansion will drop your HP figures[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]
