A "Stroked" engine has a different crank with a greater throw, in turn giving a larger capacity engine and more power. Basically the distance from top dead centre (the highest place the piston travels to) and bottom dead centre (the lowest point it drops to) is increased.

A Gen3 motor is a Generation 3 V8, Holden have one, it's a 5.7lt V8, could also be the GM Corvette LS1 engine. Basically a big V8

Cheers

nah i definatly want to stroke it not really wanting the v8. I have played with the lexus v8's before and yes it would fit but i dont think the motor is very suited to the application they are more suited to cruising but then again ..... they put them in the lexus l470 (flasher than michael jackson version of a landcruiser)
