Chuck,
Your point is well taken in reference to a rebuilt, but with a blank sheet build why not take the free tq and hp available from a stroker crank, same cost?
Also agree with the hydraulic roller cam, no question the way to go.
Performance output of 600+hp @ 10.5:1 comp./ , single 850 cfm carb., idle at 850rpm, and minimal maintainence makes for a very tractable engine. Engine will make the power at or below 6200 rpm so reliablity is also a non-issue.
