Looking to make a larger motor (4) planning on a 2665, as I don;t really want to go over 103mm to make cooling easier.
The 80 crank is available for stock rods not the Chevy rods. It is my understanding that the Chevy option offers a significant upgrade to the strength. I'm tempted to do the stock. My question is : should I wait an indeterminate time for the crank with the Chevy rod option? What am I really loosing here? or is this just a must for the larger motors? My 1st engine build. |

I just went though this drill. Met a guy with all the parts to build a 2300ish engine, all the parts machined and ready to assemble. I decided it was not right for me and walked away, but your situation might be different. I can make a strong case for either side of the argument, just depends on your situation.
