A bunch of stroke will help low-end torque but will take longer to get to a higher rpm level. A big-displacement small-block will require sufficient port size to feed it at the target rpm level, which means you could be getting into offset rockers etc to make it work as well as possible.

Share more info, and more specific details can be researched. Is there a budget for this?

The application is for a street driven car that will see time on road courses. So the rev range will vary. No endurance stuff, maybe 5 laps at the most. The vehicle will be heavy about 3500lbs.

The heads are a whole different story that will require another thread, so for now assume they are big enough and exotic enough to feed the need. My focus is the ability to stuff a large crank in a small block and how long it will stay in there. Basicly doing it because I can (if I can ).
