Quote: along the lines of using the chevy rod, did anyone see the latest issue of car craft. they built budget 383 using 440 crank offset ground with mains turned down to B size.
they used the stock chevy rod and bored it so the chrysler 1.094" pin would fit. they did state that using the chevy rod will produce .065" of side clearance, and after one dyno pull, they acted as if that would not be a problem ever because they did not blow it up.
pistons ended up at 0 deck after they took .040" off the decks and compression was 10.3:1. final displacement was 443" (.060 over block)
How do you come up with 443" with a 4.31" bore and 3.75" stroke?
I come up w/438".
"how do you come with 443" "I" don't come up with anything, I was just posting the details of the article I read.
Ahhh...okay, I didn't read carefully. Crank "offset ground" so it's probably 3.90", so that would make 443.
