Isn't it, that you want the bore to be bigger than the stroke? All I ever see is a bigger stroke, strokers.
Depends on the application/what you are building, I suppose.
Strokers are more common than big-bore motors because when it comes to making a huge displacement motor, increasing stroke will increase cubic inches far more than a bore increase of the same dimension.
In the case of the BBF (as far as your bore/stroke inquiry), even the 533 has a bigger bore than stroke (4.44"B x4.30"S) .

Bore bigger than stroke, unless you are racing top fuel.
With all the block talk I have to ask which BBF heads of choice would you run for a 557? C-460, ex14's or tfs keeping in mind that a supercharger manifold and marine TT headers will be used?

I think that I saw this boat at San Antonio last year? Is that possible?
Hell of a nice boat by the way! I love wooddecks!

Not enough info,
But I'd have to say that if you are going to build a 557 n/a, plan on a cylinder head with a very big inake port cross section.

Miller,
Sorry, but thats not it! Although the much-maligned Jim Miller did our deck restoration.
(and he did a great job at a reasonable price)
We have not been to the San Antonio deal for about 3 years.
Thanks for the compliment. My dad is the original owner.....to me, this boat is priceless and will NEVER be sold.
