Lets talk small block stroker cranks

Rod Bloomer still has the 4.25 cranks?
What are you thinking of doing?
I have thought about it and was seriously considering running the 4.25 crank and just let the torque pull me through. But as mentioned below.....


Thank you thank you thank you!

You have taken the words right out of my mouth!
100%, I agree.
I also figure the head flow/port size/volume, etc....
can only support so much in certain applications and sizes before the limitations show up. Then compromise ones into play. Which leads me to think (or rethink) why go there? Well, I can see why but also question it and ponder the worth and the methods used to obtain more with less.

Yes, it is possible but why when there’s other ways and material to be used. OK! Money limitations are an issue. Throwing away good parts is senseless to a degree. An example could be perfectly good high flowing W5’s on top of a 440 did small block and all out racing effort..... There is a better head for this, but cost could be an issue.

Limitations!


The only cranks Rod currently has in inventory are 360 main 4.125 and 4.250.
I have an assembled 4 inch 418 i plan to use with trick flows. To big for those heads but i have limited goals( lower 10’s)
