Yeah...I forgot to ask about the stroke. And seeral websites list crankks with different length stroke on them. Haven't built engines since the old chevy 350s and ford 429s. And by old I mean 1970s vintage!

Everybody wants to do fancy engine work then skimp on the EFI and wonder why their junk doesn't run right. I don't get it.
