468/496 stroker or 8.1 vortec
I'm looking at all my repower options and have a question.
Will a Gen 1V 454 stroked to a 468/496 perform as well and be as reliable as a Vortec 8.1? Both engines output will produce about 420 hp. The 496 stroker would be built with quality components. I'm also very interested in which one will provide the best low to mid-range torque.
Thanks

build yourself the 496 -the way you want it-and be happy! don't even
bother with the 8.1- non forged internals- and the heads just won't
do it for much over 450hp. you can build the 496 to put out 550/600
hp quite easily! call bob madera for THE RIGHT CAM
