What's the difference?

Stroker engines are popular because they allow you to keep your existing engine and generate more power by replacing a few key components. Most stroker kits simplify the process with drop-in components. No need to bore or sleeve your cylinders. However case clearancing for extended crankshaft & connecting rods will be required on larger stroker builds. Since stroker engines use pre-built aftermarket components, they are typically a cheaper way to achieve big power gains as opposed to forced air induction options.

When viewed externally, there is little or no difference between a Stroker Engine and a Standard Engine. The term "Stoker" designates the engine has been modified internally to elongate the piston stroke length, and therefore extend the air/fuel chamber inside each cylinder. This is also known as increasing engine displacement. The more air & fuel an engine can burn, the more power & torque it can provide. Stroker modifications include shorter piston heads, longer connecting rods, and crankshafts with longer throws to pull the connecting rod further away on the intake stroke.
