journal size is a big deal when you are turning 9k+ for 500 miles. taking weight out of the crank and rods is another benefit of smaller journals. the cam isnt such a huge issue since it turns at half the speed of the crank, but the same rules apply to the journal/bearing sizes.
i have a cup rotating assembly i thought about playing with, but will probably wind up putting it in a sbc later on down the road.

31lb crank huh..must have a really short short stroke on it and light weight bob weight that would take a **** ton of molly..ive had bryant and winberg sbc nascar cranks from 3.25-3.33 an with the full works they where 38-41lbs with 3.25 mains and 1.85-1.88 rj's..the lightest crank ive heard of was 35lbs for a sbc and it was like 2.8 for stroke wise..

i would like to see some pics of the 31lb crank..



as for reving there is plenty of 2.0,2.1 rj cranks that rev to 9k....like said the smaller main and rj on nascar or sprint cranks are use to cut down on friction..theres alot of drag race motors that dont use that low of rj's..spining 6k-10k for 500 miles vs 10k for 1.2 secs is a big diff..

i was thinking there was a 2pc. to 1 pc. adapter so you could run a 2pc. crank in there and still use your 1pc. pan..... my main concern was the custom timing cover i was going to have to make for the bbc snout. i would have a 330" LT1. more of a novelty, really, but i was planning on throwing the kitchen sink at it.

good ****..from my understanding was and maybe it was the 2pc to 1pc deal that i looked at that if i used the 2pc crank in my 1pc block i would have to use a 2pc pan..but like i said it could of been just the one i was looking at seeing i know there is a couple of them out there from 50$-200$

damn now im mad i didnt pick up that billet bryant nascar crank in 3.34 stroke for 250$
