Re: Is anybody using a 4.250 stroke? Try popular hot rod mag online. They recently did an article on this same stroke I believe. I would reference that and make some calls, b/c I do not think too many people here have done that radical of stroke yet.

Re: Is anybody using a 4.250 stroke? Lunati told me they are not making that size crank anymore. 4.125" is the biggest they make now supposedly.

Re: Is anybody using a 4.250 stroke? I think blk~2000~z28 is referring to the article done in Hot Rod about the 450+ ci LS motor. The stroke there is 4.155, by Hank the Crank. I don't know if 4.250 is doable with the reluctor wheel, as the 4.155 stroke required trimming the skirt on the #8 piston to clear the reluctor. In fact, it was cut up into the oil rings.
