I know I'm right....
Big ends were wider on the forged crank rods..who knew? @6:50
These guys are definitely newbees, along with no mention of a compression bump, or port work, the two things a slant needs most, they time the cam by ‘aligning the dots’ how bush league can you get. Notice that they also have the cam bolt Belleville Washer on backwards. The convex side goes out toward the bolt head.Super Comps and Offy dont play well together? Fail......@15.55
Rings turn at 6 RPM due to cross hatch? Ha, a wealth of info...... @18:30

There you go thinking that I was thinking...you'd be wrong.I've known it a long time. I thought everybody knew the forged and cast crank rods were different. I think the blocks are even different.

K1 offered a cast crank version of their long slant six rod, but it was discontinued early on. I purchased a set back in 2009 or so, and have those going into a 1987 last year cast crank slant block, in process of being built currently.so building a cast crank 225 limits your rod selection as the 1.21 forged big end width seems to be the only K1, Molnar or Wiseco rod you can get now. .940 width rods are out of production/ sold out?
Cast crank blocks different? You were thinking correctly..."The cast crankshaft uses a different block..." what difference is, maybe this:
"...Cast crank mains were more narrow also. Maybe the block webbing reflected a more narrow main.
"..Early (forged crank) main bearings are 1.027 inch wide (26.11mm)
Late (cast crank) main bearings are 0.881 inch wide (22.38mm).."
<<<PS. the hydro lifter block may have been cast 12 lbs lighter, but the rear cam bearing being changed to fully grooved is obvious. Slantsix Dan may have more info on block changes...>>>
