Re: Car Craft 360 AMC Build

I checked on clearances last night. Without welding the Chevy rods you'd have about 0.10" of clearance on a 360 rod journal. Obviously to much! Conversely, the 390/401 journal is narrower! Using Chevy rods on a 390/401 crank requires NARROWING the big ends. I like that idea a lot more than welding the rods though. I wonder if a wide insert bearing could be made forthe Chevy rods, and if it would last??
