Stroking a 318 engine

nope... either offset grind a stock crank or buy a new/used stroker crank...

then use longer rods to help rod angularity and short skirt pistons...
Okay, I'm starting to understand. Would I need new Cam/Lifters, Springs, Push Rods. I want to do it right but try to keep the cost down. I am also considering resale value. Thanks fr the info!
