According to that Jim Richardson fellow the stock cast crank if its balanced along with the rest of the rotating assembly will happily handle pretty much whatever you can throw at it normally aspirated.
Scat stroker cranks are peanuts though, so why bother with the stock one ? RPM Machine - Product » 1-91050-1 Chevy 350 to a 383 Stroker Kit... |
Cheers Vidge, but mine is an externally balanced 454 monster. Totally different ball game to the 350s and strokers.
The engine has been built and balanced but with some general duty oval port heads. ( cock-up by builder who went bust.................long story and over it now, I think)
I am in line for the parts I originally requested and a few others so was just trying to get some idea as to where to draw the line before needed to get the lump back out and proceeding to the point of bankruptcy!
