Research Poll on a new 4” stroke 3” main forged crank and hybird steel connecting rod
I'm doing a little research/information gathering for a company that may seriously consider bringing a new forged crankshaft to market as well as some hybird connecting rods that I believe our hobby can really use.
Crankshaft: Forged Steel 4" stroke, 3" Main, 2.20 BBC Rod journal
Connecting Rod: H-beam rod Pontiac length 6.625" .980 pin with a BBC 2.20 rod journal
This crankshaft would be more feasible to produce as it will fit both those who wish to use longer connecting rods and this hybird connecting rod would allow others to use off the shelf Pontiac pistons in our builds for both 4" stroke and 4.21" stroke combinations.
Whether you love or hate this idea or couldn't care less, please be professional and courteous. I'm conducting this poll here because I believe that we are the potential customers and and are far more dignified and sincere than a Facebook group.
