The only way to learn is to ask!

Stroker is most commonly applied to the small block chevy. You take a 400 crank (3.75" stroke) and put it in a std bore 350 chevy block (stock crank is 3.48") to yield 383 cu inches.

The added crank throw and cu inches gives you more of the favorite thing to have on the street....torque!

Remember...there's no replacement for displacement!....except maybe a blower and/or nitrous.

Used to be you had to find a good used 400 crank, but now you can buy new cranks and "stroker kits" from the various aftermarket mfrs.
