High revving 340 stroker questions

So you consider 8000 on the "low" side even though it requires oiling and valvetrain mods? I have a tough time imagining an engine that revs to 8 grand and still has decent off-idle torque and street manners below 3000 RPM unless it's built with some exotic hardware? Honest questions...


You have to do some mods, most of which I do regardless of RPM.

If the engine is right, the bottom of the torque curve will fill itself in nicely. Street manners are largely getting the correct parts and TUNING. Tuning is a huge deal.
