Help - rover 4.6 Buick crank

Post by Abrev8 »

Hi, new to the forum but seems to be the best place to get the sort of info I’m after.
I have a rover 4.6 which is due to be bored to 96mm. I also have a Buick 300 crankshaft which seems to be a go to stroker item.
Can someone help with piston and connecting rod selection???
I almost wish that I could search stock pistons by bore and compression height.

If it helps I have enquired about a set of Buick heads which may relieve the high compression situation.

There are definitely online catalogues where you can search pistons by bore size.....I was doing it a couple of years ago for something. Cant recall what though ! lol

Most will give other info too, although not 100% sure on compression height. Some will, some may not.

But as above, easier to contact those who've already done the research

Buick 300 crank seems a lot of work for extra 4 mm of stroke. Extra length at the flywheel, bespoke flywheel to correct that etc etc.

For pistons check this site: https://www.uempistons.com/index.php?ma ... 558bb60a3f

Any dimensions for the required flywheel. I know D&D make these to order but difficult to get these shipped to the UK.
