Application & Build Notes
- Designed to be a direct‑fit crankshaft for Chevy small block 350 engines where the builder wants a lighter stroke than the factory 3.48/3.48 range for either a specific build character (e.g., high revving) or destroking application.
- Ideal for performance and racing engines where stronger, forged steel crank strength and tighter tolerances are desired over stock cast cranks.
- Works with standard small block Chevy blocks and rotating assemblies — rods and pistons must match the 3.480″ stroke and appropriate rod length to achieve your desired displacement and compression ratio.
