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

not to jump in (there are plenty of people already in the skirmish) but one factor that is part of what Jake is saying regarding efficiency (I think) is efficiency of the system, not necessarily combustion effciency---- Better cooling, better heat transfer, less friction generated heat,etc etc all lend to improved system efficiency, improved heat dissipation and cooler temps.
Part better system effciency and part more effective system. Net effect is cooler temps than a less effective system making the same HP. Pax and out |
