The four inch stroke cranks where very poplular in the blown alcholol motors in alcholol dragsters back then, 2003 to 2007 It sounds like it has some very good parts, Carillo rods, JE pistons Only one way to tell, pull the pan and look for welding in the rod throw radius BTW, I bought my first six 4.25 stroker cranks from Ohio Crankshaft in 2001 or 2002 Crower, Lunati, Bryant, LA Billet, Winberg, Eagle and a bunch of other crank company where selling forged steel cranks before then

Cheers for that, not quite a blown alki motor but once I figure out some tuning issues (fouling plugs / noisy valve train) its going to to get alot of use even at US$2.20 litre (about $8.30 a US gallon) for premium. 4 speed in a C class Yacht is already abit of a giggle. I was told it was in the March 2006 Hot Rod mag which are not not easy to come by here in NZ - no doubt I will find one at a swap meet one day

Cheers, Unfortunately my Scotish blood is rebelling at the idea of spending $34.00 Including freight for a $6 mag. Strangely I have no problems spending much more on car parts

I think you would still have to weld to get the stroke that far out. If memory serves, 3.915 is tops for an offset ground stock crank with chevy rods.
