What's Up People!

I got the crank cheap coz it came from a GSR block that was in a car wreck and the motor mount ripped a chunk out of the block.

I chose the GSR crank because of many reasons including

1) GSR cranks are much beefer than LS Cranks it has 17.5 mm wide rod journals instead of 19.5mm on a LS. This makes the GSR crank arms 2mm thicker on than LS's. Crank rigidity is key to running past 10,000 rpm. Also the tolerance on GSR cranks and parts in general are much tighter. Crank rigidity also helps ring seal coz the rods/pistons run straighter.

2) I was planning on using the stock GSR rods but Rick at Endyn talked me out of that.

3)Slightly better rod ratio allows for less radical porting.

4)I went B18A because it's readily available and the deck height doesn't matter too much coz I plan to run the pistons out of the hole anyways (spot faced combustion chambers to run the pistons into the head)

Sounds like a lot of work but it's more fun when it's over done.
