I got a deal on the crank, rods/pistons and heads from a 2004 6.2mpi, I only have these items and I'm looking to build a 383 stroker with vortec heads using some sort of roller cam (truck maybe?) and a 350 block. I'm going to need to get pistons that are 0.030 over but right now I'm trying to see how this thing is setup.
All these older guys keep telling me I need a 400cid chevy crank pulley and flywheel but I think that's just old school hotrodding back when people ground down 400 cranks and put them in 350 blocks to make a 383 stroker.
I can't imagine mercruiser would put together a motor that wouldn't use the normal 5.7 parts?
I need to know how the 6.2/377 crankshaft is balanced, It looks like the front may be balanced internally but the back may be balanced externally? I got to find out if I can use my 1990 350 magnum flywheel and crank pulley on the engine I'll be building.
Thanks to anyone who knows. I'm already pretty sure I can use my 350 magnum flywheel and crank pulley but I wanted to run it by you guys and see if you can confirm.
Thanks.
