WOW! 4.25" Stroke Small Block Cranks now availavbe from BPE!
UPDATES on the 4.250 crank from ROD -
Please keep in mind this is from Rod and not my build
_____________________________________________________________
I've had several questions concerning clearance issues that
may be encountered using the BPE 4.250" stroke crank. I mocked
one up in a +.030" 340 block using both the Compstar 6.200" and
Oliver 6.200" rod.
A mile to the pan rail.
Compstar rod will require minimal clearancing at the bottom of the bore(4.070") for rod bolt.
As does the Oliver.
Clearance to the oil pump and Milodon pick-up was checked with both
rods in standard and HV Melling 72 oil pumps. Over .100" in all instances.
Not a concern with this block but, something else to check for.......to the dipstick boss.
