opinions on a 340 build

NJust purchased a 73 340 block a couple of wks ago. Need some advice as to which way to go with the build. I would like a reliable driven about four times a wk about 20 miles round trip I was thinking a 416 stroker but not sure how durable or how reliable its going to be. Have the block and 915 j heads to start with. The shop doing the machining is a very reputable shop and does some great work. So don't think the machining will be any down fall to the reliability. All opinions are greatly appreciated. Also have stock cast crk so if I decide to go with the stroker it will be available if anyone want to purchase it

20 miles round trip each of those 4 days. Like in commuting to and from work? If so, a mild cammed 416 would be even tempered and pack a lot of punch. You live in Pennsylvania. Do you plan on commuting during the winter months?

A 416 stroker with about 1 hp per cubic inch. Maybe less. Something like a XE268H to XE274H cam. Like 112 to 110 centerline, 236@50 max, .525" max lift. Dual plane intake, spreadbore carb.

The wear and durability thing is way overplayed. There are regular production engine that have those or close to those design specs. A non issue.

A 500 hp stroker small block does not fit in for a 20 mile round trip commuter vehicle.
