Disadvantages of a stroker 351-C? Unless you also lengthen the rods, the cylinder walls will get a little more side-load, and the walls are thin already. The rev-limit is a little lower since piston speed is really what limits the redline and long stroke engines have higher piston speed at a given rpm. But practically speaking, neither will affect you unless you wring the motors tail in some race. Then all bets are off. Oil comsumption is a function of ring seal, which is influenced by wall thickness & piston speed, but your stroker-kit-maker should have a handle on that problem.
