My car came with a stock stroke 351, hydraulic performance cam and sufficient performance parts to get around 400 HP. I traded the engine back to the builder for a 427W stroker. He used the same heads, but the intake, carb and cam (solid flat tappet) were upgraded. The rotating assembly is Scat for the crank and rods and Keith Black for pistons. My billet steel flywheel was replaced with an aluminum one and the rockers are now Erson rollers. The TFS heads were ported and matched to the Vic Jr. intake. The block is a stock Windsor block. Performance difference is night and day. I've run it up to around 6,600 RPMs and it pulls strong with no sign of rolling off. So to answer the original question, yes (assuming the stroker is configured right and well built with quality parts), you'll have a rocket sled. Bill Parham (Southern Automotive) designed my stroker and had no reservation about putting it in a stock block.
