400+ hp 273
Thanks Mike.
Rick, the old school days you mention were the ones I watched and learned from those who built them. While the builds were basic and wild ones, the crafty ones offset the stroke as 273 mentions of doing. A bit expensive to do, but do-able it is. IDK how far he can offset the MoPar crank. Nor do I know of any off the shelf pistons for such a stroke anymore. MoPar used to have a good selection of stroker cranks for the roundy boy's to suite the track they were at or class with displacement limiting factors.
A great example of the old days and crazy builds came right from Ford with the almost laffable Cleveland 4v engine. In S/S racing, the heads were still to big for the displacement. A little off set crank work.... now the heads were a working !!!
I remember my Grand Father-in-law talking some crazy *** things he did back in the day. A Ford man that raced HEMI's. It is a shame we never really got to talk much. He was a real nice guy easy to speak with.
