Re: what is a stroked engine? An engine that has the stroke of the pistons changed by lengthening them. This intern changed the displacement by making it larger and makes more power.

Re: what is a stroked engine? Actually, the throws on the crank are further away from the centerline of the crank, e.g. the LS1 has a 3.62 stroke and many vendors make a 4.0 stroke. This increases the cubic inches of the motor because of the increase in piston travel. the stock motor is ~345 cubic inches, a 4.0" crank will make it ~382 cubic inches.
