Are you asking about how far the crank and rod journals are offset?  The lack of overlap?

[winr1]

Yes, the overlap :-)

Trying to find a pic of an FE long stroke crank

This has more inputs than you need, but it works.

Ricky, here is the longest stroke FE crank you are EVER going to see LOL!  4.750" stroke, stock main bearing size, 2.100" rod bearing size.

Mr. Blutarski, that overlap looks to be ZERO-POINT-ZERO on the big FE crank

[jayb]

Overlap is for cams LOL

[Falcon67]

That crank can reach out and touch someone.

Wow !!   

Thanks Paulie

Thanks for pic Jay

Someone is making a 390 into a 490.

[winr1]

Can I install a 4.5 or 4.75 crank in my 390 block ??

An if so, a 4.09 piston would need to be custom made .. correct ??

Any vendors that can put a kit together as such and a rough cost ??

Mike Gaffney always told me to go big or go Home :-)

Going over 4.375" stroke in a wedge FE means you will likely run into problems with the shoulders of the rods hitting the cam lobes.  4.500" stroke can be done but some grinding or clearancing of the rod shoulders will be required.  The only reason I can use the 4.750" crank is that the engine is an SOHC.  No cam lobes to hit.

[winr1]

Ahhhh, thanks Jay :-)

EDIT: do rods with cap screws have more cam clearance than rods with bolts an nuts ??


I do appreciate all the answers an help to the questions I have asked here
