Big jugs reduce engine life faster than a stroker crank... any cyls bigger than 88mm machine-ins and your life expectency is less. Stroker Cranks are OK but they are $$$ and I think the bigger ones need machine work for clearance. 50-60K is nothing... Half life, you could probably run decent 92MM and get that... but Id reccomend 90.5 and a stroker if you want peice of mind and that mileage... but DONT think of doing anything like pulling a boat or using the extra HP in any steady state manner.
