BB motors are great for N/A and mild boost applications. But to try and stuff a good amount of boost down its throat IMO is asking for trouble. Just not enough material between the cylinders. Its great to be pioneer on something but people forget on how much money they have spent...err.. wasted to get the right combo.

Brian- I do agree that it isn't as easy as throwing a bunch of parts together and expect it to work but there is a reason on why there are a very limited amount of engine combos as the OP wants. For one a BB stroker is very expensive and two there is less than a handful of engine builders that know how to build a strong N/A mod motor that will last. Hence the first reason.

I say if the man wants more cubes to go 5.4. Big and flat torque curve without the issue of side load on the piston. Plus more cool points IMO.
