I looked down the 408 stroker rabbit hole and backed out pretty quickly. I think if I ever do one of those, it'll be based on a 360 Magnum block with a roller cam. For now, the 50 year old factory stuff will be a lot of fun. The other thing is, I'm pushing 60 years old and have never built an engine. I figured refreshing an old 360 LA motor would be a good first build.
