Not the ideal "street" strocker. Most have oil consumption issues and with time, blowby.

383 from a stock block is about the most reliable.

That just means that we get to build up the 427 afterwards

395/396 is needed to build up to 427?

what if you went to 383 w/ stroke?
what can you get to if you build up that?

No, I meant that if my rings end up wearing faster,as people say they do, then it will just be that much sooner that I will have to build up another engine, and my next one will be a 427
