Read what I said "Combine the stroke of the 428 with the bore of the 427
and you could get 447 to 454 cubes. Dad's 454 cube version ran fine for
90,000 miles." Ford built FE's from 332 to 428 cubic inches but it
is common to combine the 428 crank with the 427 bock and get 454 cubic
inches (447 is standard bore, 454 is 0.030"). Dad ran his in a '69
Fairlane Cobra.

Who said there was?

Ford did build 2 different strokes in 9.2" deck: 3" and 3.5".
From that perspective, the 351 is a stroker to begin with.
In any event, strokes from 3" to 4" inches are just points on
a continuum.

No, no, read what I said. You wanna argue go else where.
