Some Thoughts On Slant Geometry

I am not doubting anything you have mentioned. I am wondering where you got the 1.8+ rod ratio for the 225. I tried an online calculator and used 6.699 in rod length and a 4.125 stroke. That calculated to a 1.62 rod ratio. I just want to get things straight as I am also building a 225 drag engine (but mine is in a heavier 65 B body @ 3200 lbs.) I always was interested in the 'science' of these things.
