340 "the hard way"...318 w 3.55 crank...thoughts
Thanks Bobby.
Have you ever worked with one of those MP 3.55 cranks? The counterweights are pretty fat on them so It''ll need to be trimmed down from ~3.625 Radius to ~3.475 just to clear the rod....I'm thinking as an option I could use a cut down main 360 instead and come in at 9.600 in an uncut block.
If you have a good 360 crank core that'll work I could ship you the pistons, rods and B&M 360 flexplate (I need a balalncer) that would be cheap to ship.
I just want to get this motor built and done and back in the car....here's the car by the way....85" wheelbase 2750 pounds. Almost hikes the wheels with a stock 318!!
