hey my brain dont work to good anymore (4th head injury) anyone knows where i can get a deck plate for a honda motor

 

I think DART makes one.

 

i appreciate it, im tryin to make a really large 4-cyl, wanna use a H23 and stroke the hell out or it, if i can get this custom crank it can go almost 3.1L we'll see how it works out

 

3.1L? Jesus Christ.

 

i know right, hugh, its possible but it cost alot of money, crower can make the crank for me, i got a way of using tall sleeves with a spacer that spaces the water jackets up really high, a 3.60 " bore and a 4.50 " crank, mountain motor

 

I don't think it's going to be that efficient. You're going to have a lot of piston travel and you won't be able to rev tremendously high with such an odd bore and stroke ratio.

 

u would be suprized, i know alot of drivers with 820 ci mountain motors, that have 5.5" cranks and spin to about 8500rpm no prob, have u ever heard of ihra prostock, thats the class really huge motors alot of turqe all motor engines, they dont have much piston travel due to the really large deck, which they have almost 10" rods, for a better rod ratio, alot of ppl talk about the b16 ratio, it dont matter u have to sride for the every last bit, it not baout workin with stock set, u sometimes wanna go far beyond that point to do somehting different, but it aint in possible, but i know what u mean, if i was usin a stock block oh yeah, the motor would'nt be worth shit, but thats when money starts to kill u

 

Rod length has nothing to do with piston travel, only stroke does. A 10" rod vs a 5" rod with identical strokes, the piston travels the same amount.

Good luck.

 

that is true, but the ratio of the rod, if u have a long stroke and short rod, what u think the piston is going to try and do, go through the cyl wall, so the longer stroke the longer rod u need, yes it would be hardertp spin more rpm with a big stroke, but who said u need more rpm to make more power

 

You don't need rpm to make power unless you lack torque. However, you're trying to turn a honda into something it's not...a moderate displacement torque motor. They're engineered and built to rev.
