Joe Weinstein is a splendid one to behold

a stroker kit...

A stroker kit is one that increases the distance between
the crankshaft centerline and the centerline of the bearing
where the connecting rod attaches to the crank. The effect of
this is to increase the distance the piston goes up and down
in the cylinder. This effectively increases the volume of the
cylinder.
There are trade-offs, adjustemnts, and inefficiencies to
stroking a motor, so it's not to be considered as free power...
