is a longer cylinder need for the stroke
longer rods should I go chevy or type 4 rod journals

As stated, I have done my best to take the guesswork away from this engine, make known combos and have done so in a very serious manner.

We still have a lot of guys that buy individual parts from us to do things their own way, most of the time these people are on a track that we have been down before but still refuse to listen to why we didn't stay on that same road...

A huge portion of the people that do things another way either end up never finishing the engine due to complications that force them to lose interest in the project. A few of them end up getting the engines running but then they ask us tons of questions because they have issues... These issues they have NO ONE can answer because what they were created with is unknown... Sometimes people create their own monsters- we can't help them, no one can...

A huge portion of "those"people end up crawling back, starting over and spending even more money to do what they could have done the first time.

Being bull headed costs you money, leaving development and experimentation to the guys like us is certainly what the smart man does and its the reason why we do the things we do.

I appreciate experimentation and any mans desire to go outside the box, just don't expect it to be friendly on the wallet and good for your blood pressure. Getting big results takes a lot of time, dedication and energy- I live that life everyday and let me tell you its one hell of a roller coaster ride.... I do it so the guys that don't want to- don't have to. .. Most appreciate this, some don't.
