A Couple of Engine building Questions. Hi Guy's,
First of all sorry for the rookie questions.
How do you determine the length of connecting rods
when building an engine. ( possibly a 409 with a 6.0 iron block??)
Is a certain length of connecting rod better/worse?
Does it make sense to build an all bore iron block (use a stock crank to
keep cost down) and save for a stroker crank in the mean time
and reuse the rods and pistons down the road after some $$ has
been saved.
Also, one more question, how eager would the various sponsors/tuners be
to tune a car that they have not worked on or built?
Thanks in advance guy's, this site has been very, very helpful!
