427 6.0

Take this and factor in the gas a big cube motor will guzzle and the added cost of building it. Where as a stock or mild 5.3/6.0 on boost or juice would still get near stock mpg's and may still outrun a mild 4XXci motor.

Lol. Yea I have a 6.0 already. The budget is not one as I'm not in a rush to get it done. But with labor and parts I think I can have the engine installed for total of $6500- 7500. The na thing is fun but maybe a supercharger down the road but not for sure. The funny juice is not my thing. But is a blast to watch sometimes.

To the OP, slow down, take a minute, relax. Think about what you are trying to do. A stroked DD is not a good idea, if you dont have a back up to drive when it breaks. And its not a matter of "if it breaks"...it WILL break eventually. Pushing a motor close to the edge on a daily basis will find weak spots, either in the sub-par manufacture quality, part design, something. I hate to be the nay-sayer, but I broke a rocker arm bolt on my drive home once. Sounded awful, luckily it was an easy fix. Its just a bad thing to do when you rely of the vehicle to take you to work. If I had it to do over, I would not have changed anything internally (I'm only heads/cam/exhaust). Just too much to be concerned with for my comfort level. Stay bolt ons on the DD and get a toy, or a beater to drive.
I'm not saying it can't be done, but if you ask pretty much anyone on this board that is running a stroked engine, I'm willing to bet that they have another vehicle if something goes wrong.

I have a gauge for that

maybe I misunderstood what you are trying to say, but can't the same be said for any power adder that's crank driven? As well as a turbo, being that exhaust gas velocity is generally related to RPMs as well (although I realize there are more variables with the turbo)?
