I am interested in building a 2270 engine. From what I can see I will need a stroker crank with a 78 mm throw. I am concerned about which rod to choose. I have seen stroker cranks with VW type 1 journals as well as 2.0 liter and chevy. I have noticed variations in rod lengths as well. I am in need of some advise on a good, proven combination. I know there are many good engine builders on his forum that could share their knowledge on this subject so please do...............Thanks

I did a 78mm crank and had to clearance the case. My engine is a 2258. 78x96. I did type 1 journals also.
My connecting rods are 5.394 with 22mm wrist pins. We had to modify the rods also to clear the cam, even with a reduced base circle. This was super rewarding to build the engine and then thrash it on the track. Just remember that HP=heat. Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
