haha, mine runs and idles just like it did 3.5 yrs ago when i bought it. smooth as butter. she's gotta lot of life left in her. just too much work and money to spend on this 3.0 to get her as fast on motor as i want her to be.

A 381 stroker uses a 3.75" stroke with eihter a 5.7", 5.85", or 6" rod (depending on what piston deck height you want to run) with the standard 4" bore. You really need to know what you want to do before you start pulling the engine just to throw a longer rod in it. A longer rod is not always a good thing.
