Big Blocks

Are you going to use a stock steel crank and have it offset ground or are you going with aftermarket crank? I'm doing one now with a stock steel crank offset ground to 3.915 and the rod is for a BBC so you would use a 6.650 rod and a 1.32 compression distance piston like the KB280 then have the rod opened up to the 1.09 pin. This would be just to save some cost. This would give you a 0 deck or very close depending on the block. Then use your choice of head and intake.
