How would you build a 416 Stroker 340?

Hey, thanks a ton for the replies guys. I'm just sitting here soaking in all the information!

The manifold I want to put on is a rpm air-gap as I already own it, just fyi. I hope that would work with the stroker?

Headers are an option down the road, but for now I can suffer with my stock manifolds and save up for some TTI headers and new exhaust w/ x pipe for later.

I also forgot to mention, I have X heads on my 340 right now, and wish to keep those and do some porting on them. (Home porting) The car is a 95% street machine, It sees alot of highway time being that I live 30 miles from work.

Also, I rarely shift it above 5krpm, only when I'm showing off or having a ton of fun. The car will be a daily driver when possible and only see track time maybe once a year.

The main thing I want is engine rebuild back to running stage so I can continue driving it and make more 'external' improvements later on.

Thanks a ton! The information I'm getting sounds great, keep it up! You're definately helping things along.
