Ok I have some questions on the 470 stroker build...Me being new to Mopars I just would like to get some sound advice before pulling the trigger on anything...
Here is my dilemma, Being In Canada with our dollar being, down buying and shipping anything from the USA just isn't worth it right now, I know I could just call up 440 source and order a whole rotating assembly but again, it comes back to the all mighty dollar being crappy....
Now I have a buddy,who's cousin works at a place where they turn cranks and he said they will turn me a 440 crank down and cut the counter weights and everything pretty much for next to nothing as long as I am not in a super big panic. Which I am not.. I also have a buddy who works in a parts supply store who will get the the pieces I need for 3% above his cost which is great, He said He can get me a wicked deal on Manley Rods and JE pistons , comp cams, etc pretty good stuff...
Now I have looked at lots and lots of builds, The motor I want to build is gonna see some strip time but I want to keep it around 10-1 to be able to run it on the street also, Now I just want to see if I have the math right
The crank I have to have offset ground to 3.915" on the mains with a chevy 2.2 journal?
The Rods I can use are a big block chevy rod with a 6.535? My buddy has a set of manley sportsman rods in stock for a BBC for $300 which makes the chevy rod very attractive
Now what pistons to use ? That is my huge question..
