Just kind of a random question for everyone out there.
If one was to build a 4.2 stroker motor what would you have to change and modify in the motor, and if adding on a turbo later what should be done?

If your going with a stroker then I would not go with a turbo.

If your NA then you want higher compression if your going forced induction then you want to be lower compression.

Are you kidding? BOTH! The longer stroke will help make up for the turbo lag, which also means you do not need a higher converter stall speed. Win WIN!
