what rod length for 4.8 crank + ls2
#3
Deck Height Are The Same
But The Crankshaft Is Only 3.28 Inch Stroke
Where As A Ls2 Has A 3.62 Stroke
THE STOCK 4.8 ROD IS 6.400
6.0 = 3.625 STROKE 6.125 ROD AND 4.00 BORE
5.3 = 3.625 STROKE 6.125 ROD AND 3.77 BORE
4.8 = 3.28 STROKE 6.400 ROD AND 3.77 BORE

Off the top of my head I think it is 6.300. You can use the deck height formula to figure it out, but I don't know if it's going to be exact. If you told me what pistons you were going to be using I could figure it out for you as I need the compression height. Right now I'm just assuming you're using one for a 4 inch stroke. It's still going to be a little rough.
stroke / 2 + rod length + compression height - deck height = amount piston is in or out of the hole.
You want rod length so that changes the equation to:
rod length = deck height - compression height - one half of stroke.
x = 9.24 (variable that makes this semi innacurate) - 1.125 - 3.270 / 2
x = I get a 6.480 rod, but.... You could deck the block to use a 6.300 rod.
You'd also have to take the decked block into account when figuring out the compression ratio also. What do you have planned with this setup?
