I'm starting to get the case(s) machined and inspected and parts ordered for my next generation engine. The car is mostly used for autocross.
78x96 96mm piston with 22mm wrist pin (stroker) 5.4" Type 1 Rod, 22mm wrist pin WebCam 86b/86c David Finch heads (from Len Hoffman many moons ago) 9.5:1 CR running on 91 octane pump gas CB Dry Sump (heavily modified) or Thorsten Piper dry sump pump Front mounted oil cooler There are a few crank options out there now: * DPR offset grind Type 1 journal * AA Performance Forged Type 1 journal * FAT Performance Forged Chevy journal I've read about a few 80mm DPR cranks breaking, so I was planning on staying under 80mm as I like the car to be able to rev. I was considering Chevy journals for ease of assembly, but the two cranks I've read about breaking were 80mm/Chevy journals. Is there any new information on cranks out there? Any input on the config? |

Is the 78 stroke big enough to require a reduced base-circle cam? I think I remember that's right around where you start to need that.
