I have been toying around with an idea for a new motor for my Sunbeam. But it would require a destroked crank to meet the displacement goals. I have been searching around for such cranks and they are

I had a built-up/welded up stroker crank made for my nitrous bike -- and it didn't last well at all. I heard poor things about the welded up process after going that way. It wasn't a huge increase in

What displacement is your target Mayf? Ford made 221 and 260 Windsors, but the 221 is a collectors item and 260 are almost as rare. I would call several engine builders and see if they can help you.

There are lots of smaller displacemet high performance engines available without jumping through the destroke hoop. Very short stroke big bore engines seldom make much in the way of power unless you

As fvar as the 260 being rare. If you want a block and crank from a '63 1/3 Falcon sprint 260. Drop on by. Free for the hauling. RF What displacement is your target Mayf? Ford made 221 and 260 Windso

IIRC (if I remember correctly ) the 221, 260, 289 all had the same stroke- one might verify this before getting too excited. As far as other motors, some may have decades of time/money invested in Fo

Easier and more economical to sleeve and pin all eight or even just a couple of cylinders. As far as the crank is concerned, you might offset grind it and chrome it back to -.20. Skip _______________

Dave, could you be a little more specific. In a naturally aspirated engine, lets say a 4" bore with a 2" or 2.5" stroke. I would also assume compression of around 15:1. Push rod, and valve train tech

All, Skip, sleeving now is reasonably expensive. You folk have no idea what I am thinking about for the destroked crank, the use there of. I don't want a V6 motor. Sleeving two cylinders and using a

Without turning this into either an essay or debate.... first the odds of making 15/1 CR in a pushrod anything with a 4" bore and 2" stroke are probably worse than winning Powerball. Second the block

My answer to your original question, is why not. If you find an existing forging or billet, there is no reason that it cannot be done reliably. I did some cast cranks for ford about 25 years ago tha
