Wider bearings for rods.
wrench87 The nascar crank has wider bearing for the rods than stock one's. The Rods and crank are heavier also. If you are looking for a crank,rod and piston kit, balanced. Try Barry R. here or FE forum. He is also on e-bay. It's a drop in kit. Al you need is the spec on the block. Compression you want. 1-4 week wait depending on the kit. He has some in stock.:) Rick Lake

i really am undecided if i want to go the stroker route. i saw this and it is new in the box, i dont know what the reserve is. 2200.00 for a balanced stroker set up from survival motorsports is a good price now if some one would just make a new 3.78 crank i would be all set. i dont mind going to the 4.250 bore.

I would follow Rick's advice. I did. KCR is supplying my block, but Barry's price for the rotating assembly can't be beat. He supplies it with Diamond pistons. The 17cc dished slugs yield a static compression ratio of about 10.4 in a 482 motor.
IMHO, there is really nothing to be gained with stock stroke, other than being able to say "Yah, it's a 427". If you're that worried about "zingability", get an aluminum flywheel.

And I forgot to mention that dealing with Barry was a pleasure. He got right on the phone, we shot the sh** for a few minutes, made me feel right at ease considering I was about to drop 2 grand. I cannot say this of anyone else I have dealt with so far....

Nascar Crank
The Nascar cank is heavy and the rods are heavy and it was made for sustained 7 or 8 grand track events. I think it's a great idea to have a rare piece, but this is not the best place to scratch that itch. Also if you need to grind the crank, you can't get new bearings. I do not think it was widely used in drag racing, however a lot of money was spent grinding forged cranks to chrysler rod bearing sizes while increasing the stroke. You might have a better overall experience going with a stroker crank
