Looking at the stroker 460. If I use a 6.8 rod what will the crank have to be turned to?
Thanks for the info Jay!

SG 236,
You can do the crank pin however you feel good about. The proper placement of the piston pin will make it all click. You can specify it's location when you order pistons. However, 4.15 stroke, 2.2 crank pin with 6.8 rod will use a common piston that should keep cost down some.
Good luck,
Mark J.

The Ross pistons I picked up use a 6.8 rod, BBC size, on a 4.5 stroke crank. Works out to 545ci, I better invest in tires and oil companies quick.------------------

SRP (JE) has a piston in the Herbert mag that is for the 4.15 X 4.44 with the chev pin. I'm gonna go with Eagle rods.Do I need to fill the block up on the bottom for that kind of bore? Already had the block sonic checked and it is ok. I'm gonna turn this motor around 6200-6400 so I think I should be ok. Thanks Mark and Jay for your help! ------------------

Even though the idea of a that large an overbore is a little scary, I have been told that almost all of the 460 blocks have the meat to support it. Hell, proabably makes the block 20 lbs lighter.------------------

Usually .080" over shouldn't be a problem. I've seen lots of D1VE blocks bored .080" over with no filler. If you had it sonic tested and there is no major core shift it should be okay.The 4.150" stroke, 4.44" bore is sort of the classic "514" combo. The 4.15" is the maximum theoretical amount a stock 460 crank can be offset ground with a 2.200" pin. The actual stroke is normally 4.140" because the crank grinder has to have little extra to work with. The Eagle cast steel cranks are also 4.140". That would give you a 512 cubic incher. In that case your pin height on the piston should be in the 1.42-1.45" range.
