I know the latest craze in the car magazines is stroker engines, however, my brother in law told me strokers required using thinner bearings in order to have clearence enough so not to hit the sides of the block. What he told me is stroker engines were pretty short lived due to the thinner bearings and needed rebuilding after every summer if you used it hard. I also heard strokers had overheating problems and the risk of making the cylinder walls too thin and too weak. I see in MMFF (Muscle Mustangs And Fast Fords magazine) there are blocks availible that have grooves cut in the sidewalls of the block to allow clearance for the rod bolt heads. This is in their latest issue on pg.135, so I'm only guessing that unless you were to either have your old block modified for clearance or possibly buy a new one that has been designed for a stroker, you'd have to use thinner bearings.
thanks!
