451/452 Stroker Builds?

Before building a stroker,ask yourself,will a standard stroke 440 satisfy your need for speed.The bigblocks in standard stroke are by no means slouches and can produce some serious hp. Maximum effort,meaning more money or just plain old seriously fast and standard stroke. This is just a question I ask myself before conteplating any build.

A good question it is. I think the biggest reason people want to build a stroker with the 400 is because first and foremost, it fits the A body better than the RB block. Secondly, it has the largest bore of any of the stock blocks. With the 451/2 you essentially have the same package or better than a 440 and it fits much better.
