haha, perfect , thanks for the answer man.
yeah i have a friend thats going to supply me a new farndon 2.8...basically what the hks step 3 cranks were i think (you wouldnt believe the price im getting it for.....allitle more than a stock one costs). propblem here is.........head is being built to take over 9000revs, big 278 - 10.8 lift cams, so, im very very scared running 1.5 rod ratio on a high revving 1.6-1.7 boost engine ....
obviousley cant be asking for a 60.000 km engine, bout woul like it to last quite a bit.
not shure if i should be posting this on this thread, but i have so many questions i cant find answers for hahaha, such as, if i went for sr20 rods, that would make a pretty acceptable rod ratio with a 77.7 crank, but arent these rods alittle wide? or would the crank have to be machined for them? would an open deck engine hold high revs without distorting? haha, been thinking about doing a high deck for so long, and now my engine is in bits and long time to finish it, its one of those things i can have on my to do list hehehe.
thanks again
