Default Re: Stroke it. Stroke it. STROKER !

I think it's a small block with a stroker crank in it, maybe from a 400 ci small block? Only downside I can think of is the combination of short Chevy rods + longer stroke = more side load on pistons. The 400" engines weren't very durable because of that, but maybe the 383 has longer rods or shorter stroke than the 400. It's a pretty popular swap among hot rodders, so it's durability must be better than the 400.
