Stroking means increasing the traveling distance that the piston travels up and down the cylinder.
It requires cutting a certain amout of material off one side of the rod journal and welding up the opposite side. Others will have a better explnation. As far as hopping up the engine, there is several different ways with or without stroking. You can get a 350 piston and sleeve kit which is a 3-5/8 bore. Look for M&W pistons or high compression type pistons. They are also called High altitude pistons. I have been pulling H tractors for years now,, I have built stroker engines for the H tractor as well. Alot of work goes into a stroker, so if you decide to go that route,, find a reputable machinist to do the clearence work, or if you do it yourself,, start with a small stroker so the clearence work is at a minimum. Send me an email if you like I have several different engine combonations that may point you in the right direction. Chads
