Plan to keep everything pretty much stock dimensions, i.e. 3.78 stroke, 6.49 rod length, the only variant being the .030 overbore. I am kind of going against the current trend of megaboring and megastroking it. If I recall correctly, Desktop Dyno pegs it at about 431ci. A lightweight roller valvetrain is in the plans. Where can you get strong lightweight H-beam rods? Eagles typically are 800gram+. Any way to lighten them some w/o sacrificing strength? Would like to find something that is closer to the stock rod weight of 725-750gr.
At any rate, I have 2 blocks and 4 cranks, may be looking to sell off the spare cranks. And by the way, the crossdrilled crank is fresh, it just has a layer of protective slime on it, thats why it looks so white.
