" From: Richard Estermyer <javelinman74@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " " [] " " Also I know the 258's are the internal start to strokers, is the 232 " also? Was it a bore increase or stroke? stroke. 199 - 3"; 232 - 3.5"; 258 - 3.895". all are 3.75" bore and have the same pin height until '80. 290 and 304 slugs have similar dimensions. 4.0 is 3.875" bore x 3.414" stroke. jeepspeed racers have used the 232 crank for a 'cheater stroker'; it increases disp only a few cubes but bumps compression quite a bit. i'm told the engines run 'very well'... btw there are 2 rod lengths: 199, 4.0 - 6.125" 232 - 5.875" '64-'70, 6.125" '71-9 258 - 5.875" block deck height was increased ~1/4" in '71. 290-360 rods are also 5.875", identical save for narrower big end. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
