What Crank can I use?

[GLHNSLHT2]

Hi all. I'm thinking about going with a 88 2.5 tall deck motor for my buildup. My question is in the title mostly. I want to stick with a forged crank. But which model year? the 87-88? or the 89 later crank?

[allmotor]

you can use ANY year crank. some may need very minor mods. (hint front seal)

[GLHNSLHT2]

exactly, I'm looking for a bolt in setup when it comes to the front spout.

[GLHNSLHT2]

The 89+ common block will bolt in the early tall block.

Not sure if TD.com save email's sent. I'll see if I can find it or retype it. Check around for it. Maybe it's in your Junk folder or trash. That'd be easier than me trying to remember what I said

Which pistons are you gonna use? I was going to do a tall deck in the Aries with the G head and Garret turbo to see what would happen, but wondered about piston life. The rods can be made to live with boost, but pistons...

Todd I sent you an Email Via the other TD site. If you don't get it shoot me your email addy in a PM and and I'll send it via regular email.

[GLHNSLHT2]

cadman, they're gonna be forged with 4 little reliefs cut into them As for the rods a custom rod will be in the bottom end.

Oooohhhh. Did somebody say hybrid???

[GLHNSLHT2]

no hybrid really. Think more of a bolt on situation
