Tony, it is a stroker too. 462 cube. The ally flywheel certainly lets it spin up pretty quick though.
I haven't had it beyond 5000rpm yet, but it seems like anything above that is a bit pointless as I can grap the next cog and be pulling like a train from under 2000rpm anyway.
It is a totally different engine to the SBC I had in the Dax, much less 'cammy' and huge amounts more torque.
Seems to use a fair bit more fuel too, not sure why.......
