The short stroke(and other factors) allow the engine to spin upwards of 18,000 rpm. You couldn't do that with a "stroker motor"

you would need a crank with a longer throw to get the piston down deeper in the cylinder wall to allow more air and fuel, increasing the overall displacement of the engine.
seems like it would be easier to just do the 3L swap IMO



I'm not talking about changing the stroke or bore at all. Just fitting longer rods. Longer rods do change piston position, speed, and acceleration.
