318 Connecting Rods and Crankshaft

" A 4" stroke makes it very hard to impossible to balance internally without adding weight to the crank."
An Eagle forged 4340 360 mains 4.00 crank has a bobweight of 2050g (same as their cast). Stock balanced rods and cast stroker pistons were 40g under this bobweight, that's lightening the crank, no metal added for internal balance. Not hard, and I used 'heavy' stock rods.

>>> a 360 with 318 mains and 318 pistons is only .170 out of the hole. I heard there is a low compression 318 truck piston that actually is a zero deck on a 360 crank! Someone pointed this out to me when I was researching this as I have a cast 360 with turned down 318 mains already. Fedex chipped the flange between 2 holes in shipping so I never used it. <<<
