I had a deal on a crank with a short stroke at the time, plus
I wanted to buzz it and felt the 388 with the short stroke would be a bit more stable up high.

24
not sure about the crank. I bought it years ago new from a machine shop guy that said they did a lot of work to it after it came from manufacturer.

Found this through another link.

I've played this over and over for the sound.

Nice engine! Wish it was mine. Good luck with the sale.

Tried to send you a PM, but inbox is full. Would you consider selling the ITB manifold?

Id sell harrop if engine buyer doesnt want it.
Woul love to move all this stuff. It doesnt make any noise just sitting around.
The crank has been lightened by a machine shop. We can ask engine builder to weigh it. Youll be pleased to know that there are alot of other lightweight parts in this build where necessary.

He has written some magazine articles on my car. I believe he even wrote a blurb on this motor too.
