REGROUND STOCK CRANKSHAFT TO MAKE 382??? I am not sure if anyone has done this but I tried it foolishly and now I am having to deal clearance issues. The first problem I am having is that all the pistons with have a counterweight on the crank shaft hit the bottom of the piston. It needs to have about an extra 200 thousands to clear.
The second problem recently discovered is that the pickup sensor at the back of the crankshaft was also hitting the bottom of the last piston.
So if anyone has tried this and had similar results or anyone have any suggestions for me. I would be up to hearing them. Any info will be greatly appreciate.
Thank you,
KC Nowell

Re: REGROUND STOCK CRANKSHAFT TO MAKE 382??? first of all it's not going to be a 382 on the stock aluminum block, it'd be a 355. aside from that, you can do a few things to fix it. 1. call a leading manufacturer and buy the right pistions for this application (what i would suggest) or 2. notch/clearance the pistions and have the assembly re-balanced. good luck,
