My question is for non wing would you think a big bore short stroke or a standard bore long stroke be better? I'm not sure a long stroke engine would be needed for the torque without a wing on, and a short stroke would rev quicker and keep the wheel speed up. However, on a heavier track that short stroke might get killed and put undo stress on the motor trying to power through the turns. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Is your specific question whether to build a 4.00" x 3.50" or a 4.125" x 3.25" engine?
Neither, I'd buy a good used engine from a reputable source and go race. You can't piece one together cheaper.
FWIW, I think there's a car down there that does a fair amount of winning with a 360. You're on a hard RR correct?
