Reading up on GASSED260's engine has really been a delight. It really gets the gears turning and brings all sorts of questions to mind. I thought I would throw a couple of things out that I've been thinking about. I was wondering how he got his 260 inches. First off, How many cubic inches can you actually get out of one of these crossflow engines? I would like to speak in terms of an 84GA which is what I have. Is anyone making cranks for these? Is there enough meat on a stock crank to offset grind it to get a little longer stroke?
After asking the question, I realized, I don't even know what the stock stroke and bore is. Suppose I find someone to make a crank for me. How much extra stroke can I add before you run into clearance problems?
Coupled with the extra stroke, how much over bore can you safely get away with.
Looking for every bit, Do the pistons come all the way up flush to the deck or is ther a couple thousands to be had there?
Then after all this is complete, will it actually buy me any extra horsepower? Torque? Would it give me negitive returns on my rpm'S?
I read in one of my car mags where a company's making full circle cranks for V8 chevys. Running a full circle crank in my 2 cycle kart years ago as a kid made a huge difference. I always thought it would be cool for your car. Now there actually doing it. Now I'm dreaming I want a full circle stroked crank for my Aussie plant. Can you help me?
