Default Crank?

Can you put a 4.100 stroke crank in a lq4 block? Would it be a good choice for the street?

There's allot of people don't like to do it ,Most like 4.00". But i have the 4.100" in my LS2 block and been in there over five years now and still run grate, And right now im building a 431cid.out of the LS3 block with the 4.100" crank in it.

You can put that crank in there no problem, it just kind of depends what kind of build you are planning. Typically we run those in N/A motors because the piston design doesn't allow for a lot of crown. But I have seen some people hit those types of motors pretty hard, can't say I don't worry though.

Yes, i hit mine hard also lol... I shift at 7200rpm and with a 300 shot. The only thing thats a pain is the piston slap because of the short skirt and long stroke, but after worm up, it not real bad but can still hear it.
