Who has destroyed a 383 or 395 I have been reading all these negative post on bad things about strokers and was wandering who has torn or blown one up?

I've seen spun rod bearings, but none that have literally slung a piston thru the block or anything. A local guy here is spraying a direct port 300+ shot on his and has had no problems for a while now. I don't think there is anything wrong with a 382 at all and the only thing I can say about the 396 is the rod angle and were the pin placed up high in the piston.

piston speed for a 4 inch stroker 383 is the same as a 4 inch stroke 422 and up.
The 4.125 stroker motors have had a "few" issues especially reluctor wheel but I believe that is cleared up.

ran my 383 stroker 50 miles before it had problems. broke some valve springs and upon teardown the #8 piston had started crack from just starting to hit the crank. probably didn't help my rev limiter was at 6800-7k for quite a while. I beat on this motor a LOT also.
