348 stroker questions

[MRHP]

Studs give a more even clamping force. I hope it was line honed with the studs.

409 pan has much more clearance all around and importantly, more oil capacity.

If you have any questions about using a 454 crank in your 348 build give me a call. 515-850-8234 Check out my photos on here you will see I'm ahead of you on this process with my bottom end done. I'll even share my build/price sheet from the machine shop that put mine together. I had to do a little footwork getting the crank done at a specialty shop but I saved money on the entire project and learned about what it takes to make this happen. I will be creating a very detailed article about the process of going this route (once my wedding is done in April) to ensure the little 348 (now a 434) monster lives peacefully among its younger cousins the stock 409's. Not to be confused with the hell on wheels stroked 409's roaming about.
