need help choosing a crank for lq9
So I had my mind set on a 4 inch crank. A builder suggested a 4.125, but I guess he corrected himself and said that the 4.125 is to big for the iron block since the deck is shorter. Then he suggested a 4.100. What should I do? Im looking in to the callies forge cranks
4.000 or 4.100?
I know a 4.000 will make it a 408 with 4.030 what would a 4.100 make it with a 4.030 bore?

Do the 4.000" crank. I did and all my rod bolts cleared the cylinder sleeves by 0.060" or so on my iron block. The only thing I had to space/clearance is my windage tray (running truck oil pan also).
With the 4.100" crank you will have to remove material all over the inside of that block to make it clear. Not saying it can't be done, however the pistons will also wear faster because they come out of the bottom of the cylinder further.
Here is a pic of how far my pistons come out with 4" crank and 6.125" rods:
