383 strocker?

[zspot98]

To hopefully end this topic...A strocker motor is a relatively low rev
(5 to 7K) high torque engine. End of story.

Post up the sheets from Hendrix Motors, I, as well as others are interested in seeing these sheets. Mike

i know you can make them rev... takes alot more work.. cant go cheep on the parts... and anything anything with more than that 3.75 stroke doesnt rev... ive been looking into the big small blocks with the 3.895 and the 4.0 stroke the 421 427 434's and pretty much at 6,500rpm motor even aftermarket block and parts, your pushing the limit of the bigger strokes... but i have seen the 3.75 crank get up in the rpms fine with the the right parts and machine work... i really dont understand the point of it its not really a hp style motor its a tq motor keeping steady tq throughout the rpm range and still decent amounts of hp... unless you were going to shove a turbo on it or something that would bennefit from the added rpm there is no reason to make it rev that high... just get a setup that kicks in durring lower rpm range. but ive seen a 406 small block hit 9,000 just fine but it had some work to it... and makes about the same power as the stroker hes talking about...

I'm not saying it isn't impossible to buzz a 383 up to some crazy rpm like you stated, however, it doesn't make much sense. Unless you are restricted by sanctioning rules on displacement, there are much cheaper ways to get power out of an engine at those RPM's with a better selected displacement motor. You can't soley look at a displacement figure, you need to be looking at rod length to stroke ratio's and piston velocity.
