I will go with Cracker on this one.My SO is stroked with a 428 crank but it came that way,I did not build it.If I were starting from scratch,I would use the 427 crank.It has always made sense to me that Ford used a shorter stroke for a reason,and built the motor around that crank for the high revs it could generate.I think stroking it actually takes away from the reason the 427so was so good in the first place.Remember ,the 428 was designed to produce more low end torque for the big city cruisers of the day and for a lower price. chuck
