Vortec 350 Destroke?

Heres is my question.  I have a 97 HD Truck with a Vortec 350.  I am removing it for a rebuild to put it into a 2002 S-10.  I am wondering if anyone knows of a crank combo to destroke this motor?   I seem to remember in the day you could bore a 283 0.125 over and get a 302.  This would be a 4.00 bore same as the Vortec right?  I am looking for a small cube quick rev'ing full roller motor.  I am thinking of trying for the fuel economy thing until I have to stick my foot in it cause some rice burner thinks he has something special.  From what I can figure the compression might be down around 8.4 or so but that is what I am kind of hoping for because the motor is getting a small turbo.   HMMM,....  Big bore + short stroke = Quick rev?  I have driven a 377 (400 w/350 crank) and it was killer!  Any Ideas???? Answers??  

Quick revving is just a buzz word. How fast an engine gains rpm's is more dependent on it's performance and weight of the internal components. "De-stroke" this engine, lose horsepower and increase piston weight and you may just have a slower revving engine, but that's not the point...

You could make this engine a 302. The vortec engine is still really a Gen I motor, so it's components are all mostly the same as earlier small block Chevys. You could make this motor a 327 as well, whatever floats your boat, but what does float your boat may not be the best choice...

My personal opinion is that a longer stroke motor is more favorable for a forced induction application anyway. It helps smooth the engine out and create more torque at rpm's that are more useable. You also know that the more cubes are going to equal more horsepower with forced induction, at least until outputs much higher than we're considering here. You could get into a situation where the extra cubes are going to create too much horsepower than you want here and decrease mileage significantly but I wouldn't think that would happen until we're talking about over 400 C.I.D.

This is a whole new topic but also consider a centrifugal supercharger before a turbocharger. Turbos are hard to package and are more expensive than a centrifugal blower. Centrifugal superchargers also make less boost lower in the rpm range so you may be able to get slightly better than mileage than a small turbo that is taking exhaust heat and spooling early in the rev range for a mild engine. Sure turbos are good for outstanding numbers and boost pressures but you won't need those here. If this engine isn't going to be a max-effort and dedicated forced induction engine, heavily consider something more simple than turbocharging.  

Unless you found a way to make an s 10 hook with all that power your are wasting your time with the blower/turbo option. unless it is a 4wd extended cab optioned out to add enough weight it will be an expensive tire frier.

take the 350 rebuild it with a good cam and if you are going carb you are pretty much set. if you are staying efi then choose the cam wisely and spend the money u would on a turbo on traction and keeping the tranny and rear from exploding.

also unless you really r in love with the look dont ditch the rear bumper for a roll pan. the bumper adds needed weight to the rear and will protect the truck from rear end damage. if you cap the rear that will add weight and relocate the battery over the right rear tire if you can.
