Where are the main conflict areas when putting a 4" crank in a 340? How much machine work needs to be done for the crank and rods to clear? "Bore and Stroked" What combo of parts do you buy for your stroker kit? Do you have the recepe on Hand? I really do thank everyone for your info on this. I'm not one to reinvent the wheel, if some of you here have a combo that works I will plagerize. He He

I used Ross Pistons, dished 9.6 forged, eagle rods and eagle forged crank, single moly speed pro rings, and you need a cam to fit your applications, how you drive, car weight, gears, tranny, heads, intake,carb,exhaust etc.. Calis makes a high end crank too.. OH almost forgot, stay .030 over if you can and run the better head gaskets.

The 12 point bolts on the rods just barely hit the bottom of the block cylinder walls. You mark it and cut just enough to clear + about .060 for clearance insurance.

PS the Ross Piston are a little pricey, but lghter and I thnk overall a better unit when you balance. ALso the more expensive Eagle rods and forged crank are better to have toif inthe budget. Also dont forget the main caps, studs, etc if you go high end too and then do a line bore and a balance job. Lastly get the convertor you need to for the application if auto trans and add that to the balance job. ( go with the big flex plate and bolts too )
