i have read alot about 4-7 swap...
is it really worth the effort?
some of the BESt engine builders in the country dont seem to think so. no matter the order you have 2 side by side firing. some say it changes the deflection on a weaker crank adding a few ponies , but a good crank, no help.. im interested in what you experience



Its not just he 4-7 you also need the 3-2 swap, if it was not benificial, then there wouldn't be so many nascar teams using it and GM would not have used in in the LS series. I did a lot of research and it has to do with the power pulses in relation to the crank throw position. There are a few articles on this and mostly is had to do with creating a smoother running engine, not really for much more power. Tim
