School me, 3.79 strokers

Rumblefish360- Yes, you offset grind the 360 rod journals to give to a diffrent throw and the Chevy rods use a smaller bearing than the 360.

I don’t know how far you can off set grind the 360 crank or what rod is out there to allow more than what a Chevy rod can give you. This is mad scientist stuff I like but never looked into back in my po-boy racing days.

was putting the 360 crank in an over bored 318 to make like a 380 or maybe a 348 motor. Again trying to remember 30+ years ago for that kind of detail is tough... too much brake cleaner i guess. LOL!

Yes, a 348-ish sized mill with the 3.58 stroke in a 318, we had a few fellas here do that. I’m not amused with this particular mini stroker trick. No pistons for it on the shelf, low cube return, still a small bore, my least favorite combo.

I do like the 360 stroke in a 340 or larger bore block so much I picked up a forged crank for this. Luck would be with me, I found one on sale. It was $425 delivered to my door. That’s a home run! Now I’m just sonic checking blocks.

A 340 @.030 & a 3.58 crank equals 372, @ a 4.100 bore, it goes to 378. A 4.125 would require a MP race block and return a sweet 382.75. cubic inches.
Live the big bore for that top end pop!
