Default LS Stroker ideas

Im new to this anyway Would it be a good stump puller if i built a 447CI LS

4.155 bore with a 4.125 crank and LS6 heads for the lower rpm torque with an LSX or LS Next block? in a mid 90s 3/4 ton chevy pickup with a 4l80e Behind it?

Is it worth more to you to look old style than have the efficiency of coil-on-plug ignition? Why do you think everyone building cars has abandoned them? Yeah, BIG disadvantage using a distributor....

You can do a coil relocation pack if you don't want to see the ugly coils on top of the valve covers, which will also give you the long plug wires of yesteryear.
