Any stroker motors?
I see the bore is 3.8" and thought it would be nice if the crank could be ground for 3.8", which would give 4.3L. Is the crank forged and is their a grind for it?

Why would you want to do this? You would be the first.

Re: Any stroker motors?
No added weight or lag and relatively efficient horsepower. I just talked to bbandtracing.com and they said they'de only be able to get 3.6L out of the crank for $600.

Re: Any stroker motors?
um ...... to increase normally aspirated horsepower and torque? why wouldn't you want to do this? a motor with a stroked crank will usually make more horsepower than a motor with a bore kit with the same displacement increase.

vlmaclean, like I said you'd probably be the first. Go for it and see what happens and make sure to report back.

Re: Any stroker motors?
i can't say what a stroked boxer-6 would put out, but the Devek 928 open road race car was stroked from the factory 5.0L to 6.5L and went from stock 320hp/320ft-lbs to 500hp/580ft-lbs at the crank.
not cheap or easy, but there are gains to be had.

Re: Any stroker motors?
Based on those numbers and what vlmaclean said we'd see 266hp/280tq, maybe a little optimistic.
Seems worth it, if you actually get that much without too many supporting mods. I'd be really surprised if they can do it for $600.
