boost with a Stroker

I was told that a supercharger or turbo would not work well with a stroker motor. Is this true?? I would like to either have a 306, 331, or a 347 when I rebuild my motor.. but would also like to see some boost.... whats the best boost combination?

Whoever told you this is an idiot. Since your building a stroker you are basically redesigning the engine. You can set the compression ration,displacement of the engine to anything you want with the right combination of parts. Also now you can go all forged internals. The main thing is before you start buying parts have a plan. Know wether you want to boost it or go N/A. Then you can figure out how to squeeze the most power out of your decision. Most general apllication of stroker kits, 331 is usually a motor made to have a ton of Boost. 347 more of an N/A motor but you can easily run 6-9PSI on one. 306 isn't a stroker motor. Those are general application of kits... but like I said you can do anything you want with creativeness, research, and money.

306 is just a .030 over 302. 331 and 347" strokers both work very well for boost. A 331 will last you a little bit longer on the street than a 347 because on a 347 the piston pin is pushed up to the oil ring. Only problem is it's harder to get low compression with a 347 because you can't run as big of a dish.

Also, if you're just rebuilding the motor with a stock block, don't waste your money on a stroker crank. Stock cubes with heads/cam/intake and a turbo kit can EASILY make enough power to split the stock block, your money spent on a new crank would be better spent on an R302/A4/Dart block.

are you saying that a stock block stroked to 331 will bust open? I'm talking n/a here.

naw.. u need a hell of a lot of hp to crack a cast iron block

For a daily driven car 450 RWHP TOPS. For a drag car that's going to be beat on a few times a weekend I might stress it to 500-550 RWHP. Even at those power levels your block will split in half right down the crankshaft centerline with constant use.

If your gonna go N/A why go 331 instead of 347? If i was gonna run FI it would def be a 331 first but for N/A I'd rather use a 347.

word on the street is the 347s are boarder line at best for longevity. I've read thatthe low rod ratio puts the pistons into their oil rings which is cause for accelerated wear, I'm looking to have this car for a long time because A) I'm cheap and B) I'm rapidly learning how to work on it and maintain it.

If you're gonna go N/A why stick with a 302? There's a TON more potential to make power with a big 351W stroker.

it's all about economics my friend
