I just built a 426 wedge with that deal. Made 525 hp and 552 tq.

we cut the mains .120 to fit the block, and had to cut .100 off the counterweights to clear the block. Used an eagle h beam rod and a diamond forged piston.
A start. Thank you.

Don't use the long rod

When researching my 432 build, I found info for long and short rods....use long 440 rods or short 383 rods. Some info said the shorter rod and associated shorter dwell time at TDC would help reduce detonation. I am running iron 906 heads so thought less detonation would be a plus.
I am just finishing a 432 street build, with Scat forged crank...had to cut .10 off the counterweights to clear the block and bottoms of Diamond forged pistons. I used the short 383 rods with ARP bolts.
Fisher summed up the main details. the rest of the build had no surprises. I am just sorting out the fuel mixture at my altitude 5200 ft. Engine runs well.

Flatlander Racing has a nice list/selection of Diamond pistons for most any rod and crank combo... short or long rods, oem or smaller piston pins, etc.

Look under pistons, then Diamond

Sorry Tim, been busy lately--the thread I was referring to was Fisher's. You made several posts in that thread. What heads were you planning to run with?
Most likely ,440 Source Stealths. Crower 32244 hydraulic NT/EXH - Dur @ .050 Lift: 238°/249° RR: 1.5/1.5 Gross Lift: .534/.552 LSA: 112° RPM: 2000 to 6000 Redline: 6500
Soundsike a nice cam for that engine.
Thanks! Need to hustle, to get it. Hope your Magnum swap works,Rumble
. Old enough, start loading another bullet in the chamber.
Trade work for rods,done.... Next crankshaft...
