Seems like Jake will be out of reach for the next few weeks...so...anyone know the cost differance between staying at 71mm and upgrading to 78mm stroke?
my rods already need to be re-worked due to the pistons I'm going to use, so no loss there, I'm guessing new rods would be in order for the longer stroke....I have no idea what crank is going to cost, nor the rods....can a 1.8 crank be used so that I can at least sell my 2.0 rods and crank to help cover the additional costs?? |

I got the impression from the Excellence article that 71mm cranks are fettled / welded by DPR to go to 78mm, so the 71mm crank is a core. As for 66m cranks, I get the feeling those aren't used since the 1911 package was floated to address excess 1.7/1.8 parts inventory. I think the 2.0 rods are a write off since T1 style wrist pins (22mm?) are preferred.
