? about that 3.65” crank
That one seller on eBay sold those Mopar length connecting rods with Chevy sbc sized wrist pins.
couldn’t someone match a set of Chevy pistons with that crank and those cheap rods up to a 340 , R, X, or 318 block? (Fairly easily?)
if the big league guys here are not jumping on that it might help the seller.
what do you guys think?

Yes you could. In the end, it is really all about where you want to end up with the build. Even a Chevy slug would have to be a custom order and probably more so since there valve angle is 23* & not 18*. You can have a MoPar piston custom done with a Chevy pin size EZ enough. Just as easy to just grab some Eagle con rods and couple it with a custom MoPar piston. It’ll be equally pricey for a custom slug.
This would not be cheap ether way. Just the rods. The more you customize a piston, the more it’ll cost. It could start off setting the savings.
It’s .07 more stroke, which can be huge on the piston side of things. If it was less .07 in stroke, that would be different and possibly use a 360 slug.
Figure $650 for the crank, $1,000 for pistons, 5140 steel I beam rods (500 hp) for 278 -
Eagle SIR I-Beam Connecting Rods SIR6123CB
$1928 .... rings and bearings not included, balancing extra.
Or for $490, get upgraded rods to 750 HP handling capacity.
Eagle H-Beam Connecting Rods CRS6123C3D
Total $2140
Might as well get the better rods and supercharge/turbo the engine at the rate we’re going here! LMAO! Still, it is a cool crank and adds 7 cubes vs a 3.58 crank. Boost that 340 another 40 cubes right quick.
Good luck on the math test!
