Good way to go on this one would be a 5 inch stroke. Mostly grinding the rods down, and the sides of the lobes of the cam to clear the rod. Now, on piston selection,, there is a wide variety of bore sizes. anywhere from 3-9/16 bore up to 3-13/16 bore, and the pistons all come from the IH 6 cyl. Setting compression height is simple with these pistons,, using the H rod, and the smaller wrist pin pistons, and making a bushing to set the proper compression height. Good thing about using the IH 6 cyl pistons is, you can still get them, and the firecrater design is not a bad design. you can use the IH 6 cyl piston from 5 inch stroke, up to 5-3/4 stroke in the H-350. As far as torque is concerned,, by using the tractor pistons,, and combining the extra cubes, and compression, you would have plenty of power to do what you need to do. There is a good place in Fort Wayne Indiana that does super work on stroking crankshafts, can pass that along if you need it,, but I have seen the engine that AC is talkin bout,, I would say that is a good one to look into!! He is going bigger,,,, ChadS
