I like the Idea, I'm only aware of a 5.7 and 6.0" rod for a SBC below/ = 6.00"

I know the factory 400 SBC ran something like a 5.565" rod for the 3.75 stroke in a 9.02" deck.

I know a lot of LS guys actually prefer the 3.9" stroke to the 4.00" so maybe if I (hopefully never) spin a rod bearing I'll destroke it slightly.


500 Duster,
Maybe that was a 372 which is a 360 3.58" with the mains cut down and stuck in a 340 block?

Maybe most shops can’t take one out that far. He was considered by most of his peers to be the best in the business.


I'm a visual person, so I drew it up in CAD to see the difference. We don't work in Units of Freedom down here, so the picture is in millimeters.
