Jeez Doc, you have (ex) eyes everywhere ?
The proposed doco would have to include 8 'rods being vomited from a 454 sump, home brand mozzie killer would be a cheaper option.
On your stroker thoughts,,I'd suggest a strong rever would be your best option, not something a stroker would be fond of ?
Work out the stroker piston speed @ your required revs and compare it to your stock stroke at its desired revs.
I foolishly thought I knew more than most, torque would get me through in '06,,it didn't,,my max rpm kept me constrained.
I now realise (yeah,,I'm slow) the more times your piston(s) can force theirselves at your crank, per second,,the more HP you get, until you hit the "want more gas, need space age rings" wall
I'm running an oil squirter in the postie now, after seeing 1340 degrees C on my EGT , in '06, BEFORE passing the 1st timer, Iv'e also added a ceramic thermal barrier coating to the piston crown, it's cheap insurance.
Best wishes you blokes, it's your turn for the hat in 2011.
