Sure, I drive my LS 383 stroker just about every day. You have to realize that the piston is traveling a 10% greater distance than the stocker every time it goes up & down the cylinder, so there's bound to be that much more wear & tear if everything else is equal.

Mine's a daily driver. No problems at all. Cam choice will determine the driveability, reliability is more on the parts selected and quality of the build. Choose a good builder and select quality parts; not cheap E-bay china ****.
