You can put in a WD45 crank and offset grind it to WC rods then have pistons machined down. That's about it to use those rods.There is no grinding on block. When you stroke a crank you need shorter rods. I have a WC block getting ready to redo for pulling. depending on your budget we can go from 286 CI to 392 CI. Email( just click on Cshaffer) or call 585-335-9274, hope that helped, Charlie

Mr Cshaffer, you do not need to offset grind a 45 crank to make it compatible with WC rods,as they bolt right in,unless you are refering to the old WC rods(made only in the first year).I've put many of these together.An easy way to get 60 plus hp is to use a 45 crank,the lower portion of the WC rods,upper part of small chevy rods,4.125 plus .010 400 small block Chevy pistons,and a used set of .125 WC overbore sleeves.Shorten the push rod end of the rockers 3/16 of an inch,match the ports,and then go pulling!Make sure to do a good job welding rods together,as the metal in the Chevy rods that I've used in the past seems to be a bit inferrior to what mother Allis used 65 years ago.
