ok stroker guru's, gig this one

Well, if you are seriously concerned with long life, I would do the 360 and let the power fall where it may. Strokers are pushing away from factory design that had to keep things simple and minimize wear. Mopars did well because the blocks have good iron and the pistons were always really tall and stable, among other things. So I'd build a nice solid 360 and go have fun. If it's a good enough running 360 you can always throw a 408 pie tin on it...lol
