Chevy 350 Engine Build - Sleeper Small-Block Combo
|
The problem with running a 4.00-inch stroke crank in a 350 block is the 6-inch rod required to clear the counterweights on the crankshaft. The long rod will put the piston pin up into the ring pack. It's been done before on race engines, but on the street you might end up with oil consumption and other issues. The crank on the right is from RPM and retails for about $500. It was smoothed with a Makita 4-inch disc grinder by Ted Toki at Westside Performance. He took a small amount of metal off of the end of the counterweights to get them to clear the pistons.
