My mechanic Matt is restoring a 72 Cuda and wants to install a 440 crank into a 383 block. That will give him a 426 wedge. You use the 440 rods so you can use shorter/lighter pistons.
In addition to turning the mains smaller at the grinder, I will be fitting the crank to the block. From what I understand, I will be putting a 45* chamfer on the ends of each "pair" of throws / counterbalances to clear the block.
Anyone else do this and can verify that's what's needed.
