Stroking a 318 engine

Biggest issues with adding stroke is the rest of the stuff that "should" go along with it. It doesnt have to, but to me, if you're spending the coin to get the higher output, then spend to get it. It's to the point now that the only real issue is the pistons. I won;t run hypers, and IIRC forged are considered semi-custom and more money than the typical 408/416 stuff. Otherwise it's all pretty much the same. But, a 360 built for performance with a mild cam and cheaper pistons will give you 80% of what a 4" stroked 396 will, for about 1/2 the money. So if resale and cheap are primary, build a carbureted Magnum 360for it.
