Can a 400 Stroker be used as a 512?
Taking the bottom end out of a 496, and will use it in a 400 block to come up with a 512. I will need new pistons, of course. I have a set of Stealth heads on the 496 now, and it seems to run out of breath about 5000 RPM or so. Torque falls off, and it just wont go much faster.
How big is the stroker on a Chevy 400?
This is the largest stroker combination available for the Chevy 400, using a 4.000″ stroke to achieve 434 cubic inches of displacement.

OOTB 440 Source Stealth heads and 440 Source rocker arms with a 500″ engine is like Jelly Beans with Prime Rib.

I purchase them unbalanced and have my machine shop do the balancing.

Is the 400 block 512 Stroker a good kit?
The one thing that bugs me is how short the pistons are in the 400/512 stroker kit. I worry about Piston rock in the cylinders hens lowering the drivabilty and reliability on the street. I would like some feedback as to if this make sense to do or would going back to a 440/512 kit be better??

It also has the BCR aluminum main caps and 1/2″ thick main girdle. This engine is built to rev 7,000+, and I really don’t need any more low end torque as the car is already hard to hook up. The second engine is a 440 with the 4.25″ stroke, 7.1″ rods, and dished pistons (10.3:1 compression) with stealth heads.
