Hey i posted a while ago about strokeing my 355 and am still unsure about doing so, its in a 91 s-10 that i will be useing for daily use so i need it to be reliable. The engine is in serious need of a rebuild which is why i'm considering strokeing it.

How its set up right now it has a 4k-7k powerband and is all top end.
Will strokeing the engine will bring the band down and boost my hp at the same time? and will i still be able to take it up to 6500 rpm or so? or will i need to?
It has a hydrolic cam which i dont know the exact specifications of, i've heard of issues with big lift cams in stroked engines. Will the same cam be appropriate?

The carb is a 750 double pumper which i've been told is a little to big for a 355 would it be much nicer on a 383?

I hear that a 355 would be more reliable than the stroked engine? is this true? if so how much more? i'm assumeing that with the stroked engine i can get away with a lower torqe converter which will be nicer on my tranny if i'm right?

Do stroker engines run hotter? colder? like i said its an engine for the street.

The engine used to run nitrious and would like to put nitrous back on it in the future. Which option would be better for this?

I'm on a decently limited budget so should i drop my money on this? or other goodies such as a 4 speed and new suspension i only consider this because of the oportunity of the engine needing to be rebuilt.

If you actually read this whole thing thankyou and help/advice/opinions/what you would do's will be greatly appreciated, i'm haveing a very good shop do this and i dont want to have to worry about this engine for the next few years.
Thanks again.
