Its been done, but very rarely - because most people dont want to give up power without a reason. If your in a racing class asking 310 cubes or less for example, you probably want another engine/block anyway.
You will either build up the car for say 9,000 RPM ($$$), or else your wasting power by throwing the cubes away. If you want to be different, put a Honda engine in there, nobody has done that yet I bet.

Personally, I think GM should've offered this in the S10s since they use the same tranny and rear end.

A d stroked motor will totally d stroy your torque, which will have a d trimental effect on your launch, and will d ny you that stong bottom end we all d sire. It might de difficult to d termine what type of crank to use, as well. If I were you I would d molish any plans you have of d stroking.
