the point I was trying to make was if you have say a blue max with piston .032 in the hole but choose not to deck the block that much use a max stroke crank and a longer rod which in 2014 +.015 is legal so by doing this you have moved the piston up the cylinder .025 and your piston now is only .007 in the hole. By using the .01 longer stroke crank you have also picked up 1 cc in the cylinder. .0096" or bore = 1 CC.Now you’re talking, (.300”) a significant difference. I remember a guy doing the small block thing back in the early 60’s. I heard he was putting 409 rods in a 327.
But .010” is insignificant. Even at 90 degrees you’re only talking a .00094” difference in piston travel.
Comments, compliments, criticisms and questions always welcome.
now blast me for that!
