Hello guy's I'm currently planning out a hi-performance y-block, but a Y racer and I were talking, he wants to put 312 crank in his 292.



He'll have to cut the mains on the crank obviously, but he'll have to use the longer 312 ECZ rods right? Now I hear this talk about the strong C1TE rods being the same length(but aren't those from a 292?) if thats the case then they must use a piston which has the pin located further up?



Now if he decides to have the crank offset ground(even more stroke), he'll have to have a custom rod or piston made correct? Is mummert using a longer rod/custom piston combo(rather than one or the other)for a good rod ratio? Thanks for any help/clarification you can provide! -4speed
