ok, so,
318 is 3.91x3.31
340 is 4.04x3.31
360 is 4.00x3.58
could a 360 crank be run in a 318 if the main sizes were turned down? what about the connecting rods if this were possible, would they have to be 360 connecting rods? that would make it a 'stroked' 344 roughly?
3.91 x 3.58? that seems like a very easy budget stroker motor to me..
and if this motor were bored .040 over, it would make roughly 351 cubes? thats not bad for a 318 ;)
depending on the connecting rods, this could be accomplished with a 360 rebuild kit minus the pistons, and a trip to the machine shop.
and what about a 4" stroke crank? what size connecting rods would you use? could you just buy a 416 kit and use 318 pistons or what? 390ci (+.030) would be a nice conversion..
