Reply to "408 Stroker Life Expectancy"

Astephens (Guest)

Dan,
Was there more meat left in your Dad's block than there would be in the 408 stroker? I think someone suggested that with the 408 stroker, the long stroke and the thin cylinder walls combined with a short piston would promote additional wear at the base of the cylinder. Would a thicker cylinder wall affect the wear at the base of the cylinder? If in fact the 408 does wear the base of the cylinder more than say the 377, what are the symptoms? I'm guessing more oil consumption and perhaps a loss of compression? Even with these symptoms, does that mean the engine would actually break sooner than the 377, or is it just going to get tired sooner?

Thank you Dan,
Art
