EXACTLY RIGHT JACK BUT HOW WILL IT ALL WORK?????PackardV8 wrote:Interesting math; check me here, but an 8.1" rod and 1.74" of stroke = 9.84"; can't stay under a 9.025" OEM SBC block deck, so that's already .815" out of the deck before we consider the piston and rings?

What are you making a diesel?
Part right and part wrong but some good deductions all the same.travis wrote:I'm guessing not a conventional cylinder head? Or some sort of spacer between the block and head? Otherwise I don't see it being physically possible. I haven't done the math but I don't think you could physically offset the pins far enough to fit this all together.
That is a great idea -wish I had thought of that when I could not afford the outrageous cost of compressors in 1970's UK.cgarb wrote:This is going to sound weird, but are you making a compressor of some sort? I've heard of people using Volkswagen engines and having them run off 2 cylinders and compress air with the other 2.

So is this a piston design with rings below the pin? The wrist pin would have to be inside the dome somehow and rings below the pin.David Vizard wrote:stock 350 stroke and crank location DVptuomov wrote:Sounds like some kind of spacer would be needed to move the crankshaft centerline down, unless the engine is destroked dramatically.
Well you and a couple of other posters are definetly moving in the right direction.ptuomov wrote:So is this a piston design with rings below the pin?
