Re: [Amc-list] For Sale: 390 V8 Rods & 304 Venolia Forged Turbo/Blower Pistons Oxford, MI

Greg,
   So what happened? I was so looking forward to reading more about your stroker 304 motor? Why the change of heart?

  Good evening all,
I have a set of EIGHT 1968-69 5.79? forged rods that have been completely rebuilt/resized. Polished, weight-matched/balanced, shot-peened and reamed for floating pins. Include ARP high-strength bolts. These were originally done for a blower motor.

Match these up with the set of TEN Forged Venolia pistonsfor a 0.030? overbore 304 V8 (now 3.78?). These pistons are dished for a turbo or supercharger application and yield around 8:1 with stock 304 59-cc heads. Pistons are weight-matched/balanced and come with full floating pins and locks ? SET UP FOR THE ABOVE 390 RODS with ~1? wrist pin (stock 304 pin is 0.93?). Pistons also have valve reliefs for 1.94? intake and 1.50? exhaust valves (Small Block Chevy valve conversion on 304 heads). These were the pistons I was going to run in the twin turbo engine, which is now being built for naturally aspirated use in my Grand Wagoneer.

You can mate these pistons and rods up to a 390 crank (3.574? stroke) to make a 321-cid stroker. With 390 crank, they are 0.051? in the hole (from stock 304 deck height of 9.208?).

You can run them in a 290 block with a 390 crank, and they would be roughly 0.018? below deck.

You can also run these pistons/rods with a 401 crank (3.68? stroke), which puts them -0.002? ABOVE deck (on a 9.208? deck height). This combo would make a 330.4-cid stroker. IF your block needs to be milled, you could have the piston tops machined down accordingly, by a machine shop, to regain the Zero-deck.

Lastly, these pistons can also be run on the stock 304 crank/rods (3.44? stroke & 5.875? rod), which puts them 0.033? below deck. To do this, the 304 rods would have to be machined out for the 390 wrist pin size.

RODS: set for $225
PISTONS: set for $325

PACKAGE STEAL AT: $500


Sincerely,
Greg Taylor :) <><
