We want it to run better than a dumb ole Shivvy! LOL But you're absolutely right! It's just my personal opinion that hanging that big of an arm in that little block is taking a big chance. Same reason I decided NOT to build a 427 for my car. Just what's running through MY head, nothing more.

Yes, DSS, CHP, Bennett (ours is a CHP kit, 2nd car is a bit more exotic, no kits here!) are great sources for stroker parts. Have them balance the rotating assembly for ya, it's only a hundred bucks or so if you have them do their own parts. Local machine shops whack ya pretty hard if you bring your DSS crank to them to balance.

Coast High Performance Bennett Racing DSS Racing
