If you stick with the RB main size then you avoid the low deck main bearing issue and you consolidate demand for RB crankshafts. Seems like a winner to me.

A low deck Hemi could be complicated by the pushrod angles. Might want to mock that one up and see if everything clears everywhere before you get too far into it. It seems like the pushrods already get into the cylinder bores at the RB deck height. If you lower the deck then the pushrods are going to lean over even more.


Andy we can model-up the pushrod angles no sweat. the greater challenge is water jacket cores which have to be created from scratch, already the trickiest section on HEMI blocks.
Getting all the investment costs together on this now.
