No, you didn't mention a budget.... I just suggested that an inexpensive bottom end (budget) would meet the goals without breaking the bank. If you want to spend more, then by all means please do.

Of course you could always go with a lightweight rod like a Howards, along with lightweight JE, CP, BME or Ross pistons. Definitely make for a light bobweight but not exactly a lot of bang for the buck.

Fact 1

We've been over that one with examples.

Fact 2

Mild cam timing and tuning.... you should be over 20 mpg

Fact 3

The hp will be there and the torque will be a bit on the thick side with the mild cam in a stroker. Just the reality of building a mild stroker.

Best of luck.
