yeah thats why im trying to get a shorter crank in it haha, couldnt i just get the back of my crank machined down .4" though? that seems like the cheaper/easier option than finding a different crank and getting the bottom end rebalanced

1 Swap cranks
2 use an lt1 t56
3 swap input shafts on the t56
