Building a 408 stroker

Do you think that I would be better off building up a 360 because it would be cheaper and still get alot of power out of it.
It would be cheaper to build a 360 over a stroker built on the cheap. Do what your wallet demands. <LOL>
For the stroker, you'll need the expense of the crank, clearance machine work of the block and more expensive pistons.
On the 360, you have it all allready except the pistons.
With the larger engine, to unleash it's potentail, better heads are required. This is also an added expense if your seeking to get the max out of it vs. a 360.
