the ol stock crank

[Antec1200X]

hey would a guy be able to make a stroker crank out of a stock crank?
just curious.

with enough money............sure



is it a lot cheaper/easier to just buy one? yes

The hole for the pin can be welded and machined for the desired stroke. Falicon can do this. Another option is to make the pin off set. The best way is to buy a stroked crank if they make one.

i know crank works was doing it for zillas in the past.

Just buy one. You can change it, but I'd much rather buy a new cranked forged from one solid piece......not to mention, a good after market stroker crank is stronger than a stock crank which is always a nice thing to have on your side.

^^Very true. It's just quite a bit more expensive to stroke a stock crank than to buy and install a 'drop-in' stroker crank. Not trying to jack this thread, but I've got a question. Just how 'good' are the aftermarket stroker cranks in general, with reference to trueness out-of-the-box? I mean, I'd have one checked before installing it anyways, but how far out-of-true do they tend to come?

depends on the manufacturer and some are right on while others are out a few thousandths
