Message	Curios, if we are considering this cast aluminum block (most feasible production option) the VG30 end all, are there provisions (namely, clearance) for stroker/big bore options? Im assuming that if it is going to be wet sleeved then the sleeve size can be increased fairly easily? If that's the case, then is there (crank, rod) clearance for strokers? I feel like some may want to get into an under-square build. I havent read all the replies above, but I did want to ask which OEM parts (i.e. OEM form factor) you are incorporating into the design? I know heads you mentioned, what about the crank and rods? I could see the benefit of wider crank bearings ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp KH6 (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 732 (Dead) 1991 300ZX TT 5 Sp TH1 (Stock) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp KH6 (Stock Turbos) (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp 326 (GT600R) (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 2008 Honda Civic (DD) 2014 Nissan Murano (DD) 1969 Chevy C10 383/TH350 (Toy) 1969 Chevelle LS1/T56 (Toy)
