Typing 308 offset crank into Google search gave 885 results. Heaps of info there to start with, it seems heaps of people have comments there. Have a look and see if that helps.

the width of the chev rod has to be changed aswell and you also use a chev piston but you have to make sure you find the right piston hieght as there are a few diferant types. when you find the right one you dummy asembel the engine find the average deck

too dear for what it is.

If you want to zing it to 9 grand, leave the stroke as is.

If you want more torque, the cheapest and easiest way is with a COME 3.48 crank, holden rods, acl piston.

Honestly, by the time you grind the standard crank, find

Its not that much more for a 350 stroker kit from COME. I think all you need on top of that is the block machine work.
