Well I've hit another hurdle. My engine is based on a 372 dart block. The blocks come in 2different journal sizes. The 2 main bearing diameters: 302 (2.249”) or 351C (2.749”) allow choice of small or large journal crankshaft. As it was a NASCAR spec mine had the small journals so it'd allow the little light crank spin big, but that now makes my new build an issue as to go + 400 cubes I need the larger journal size.
I might be able to bore the block out to suit if the only difference in composition is the journal diameter. Worse case is a new block! Argh! I can always sell the current one etc but this refresh is starting to have a serious 2 at the start of the bill!

And yes for you darksiders I have considered LS but by the time you factor headers ecu mount gb input shaft etc etc it still end up being more costly. Nothing's cheap in motor sport. Just the jesel cam followers are $4k! Ouch
