Stock block plus 2.000 sbc rods, longset stroke?

Is some "custom" crank in your future?
Just speculating. I am down with a back injury and too much time on my hands! If there is a crank core out there that could be ground on a bigger stroke for a somewhat reasonable price, it might be an interesting project. My 408 is a great motor, but even with the airgap dual plane and 235/249/107 duration cam make for the need of a looser converter than i like. The converter i have is a ten inch. A&A said it would be tight, but i would like a tighter converter yet and the only way to get that is all the cubes i can stuff in a stock block. The 408 would make a great ten second backup motor for my race car if I ever need it. Almost zero maintanace and no fire suit needed! Greg
