Building a Block

[Rawpwr7]

I am building a block and wanted to know what type of crank is better??
Stroker: Which Manufacture
Even-fire
Odd-fire
Which is going to be a better Crank.
I only want to do it once.
I have a Bowtie block.

get a 2-piece crank.

Or, Mike Lee @ RPM make some nice ones. www.raceprovenmotors.com

get a 2-piece crank.

What makes the two piece rear main seal better than the one piece ?

Odd fire is a bitch to go but a lot stronger
Whats you HP goals ?

 

[Rawpwr7]

as much as possible......I just want a bullet proof bottom end...

oddfire billet.

Just causes a lot of other issues external in the fueling and spark departments.

i guess it depends if you want to make 600 or 1600 hp? a billet evenfire crank will be fine for most builds. As for the 1 or 2 piece rear main seal that just depends on what block you buy. The wet sump cast iron bowtie block only comes in a 2 piece main.
