318, to stroke or not?

Get a 10 inch converter, 3.55 or 3.91 gears and keep the short stroke. You can get a 7,000 red line and nice high compression pistons for the 318 bore, 3.31 stroke.

Chevy got by with a 3.25 stroke in their 327. Geared and cam right-solid cams- those were killer motors



I got a stock stroke 340 with a 10 inch and 3.91 gears, 26 inch tires, looking back glad I don't have a 4 inch stroke. Not when its doing 4,200 rpm at 75 mph for 30 mins..yeah Its getting expensive for fuel.

Stop light to stop light its perfect. Long highway rides not. One half tells me to stick the 3.23 gears back in, the other half says live it up while fuel is "cheap"..who knows what it be in a few years time
