....... 78, 82,84, 86, 88, 90mm, and for what engine, type 1 or 4, or what type of flywheel atachment, 4 dowel, 8 dowel, wedge mated or flanged.
And what main journals do you prefer..... all type 1, type 4 center or all type 4 but still a type 1 crank......
And what conrod journal.....VW, Porsche or Chev.......
And how good a quality do you want, VW welded, cast, forged 4140, forged 4340 or billet??????????????????

There are MANY different options when buying a crankshaft.......it has to chosen carefully for the job you want it to do.

Hi

If your going to expense of buying a crank, go for a 74 stroker usually no case clearancing and just needs spacers (they don't cost much), will work with stock rods.

you would need to change piston and barrels or longer pushrods wouldnt you still

74 even up to 78, you can make std pistons work, all you need is to set CR, appropriate barrel spacers and pushrods the right length.
