I have proof in the shed that two bolt mains do not make good stroker engines. My block has 1200 miles on it and shows bad cap walk. Studs do not fix the problem. It was not a high hp/rpm motor either. The problem is the registers where the caps fit do not have enough clamping area to control the extra throw of the larger crank. If you keep it stock stroke or destroked, it should be o.k. If you were to stroke a two bolt block, keep it under 375hp and 5500 rpm. As for pricing, I pay 100-150 for 4 bolt blocks.
