strokers won't last as long as a comparably prepped stock rod motor. If you're going stroker then don't worry too much about rod ratio. If you build it properly I don't see that much reliability difference between the 393 and the 408...biggers better. Long rod motors should benefit from reduced friction losses and longer time at tdc to make more power. I'm building a long rod 358 right now, I'll let ya know what she dynos at.
