Jerry,

That 255 sounds like a slick little tricky screamer....never thought of that combination. My favorite when running short track, which required a Holley 2bbl was a 377. A 350 crank in a 400 block. Pretty cheap cubic inches with all off the shelf parts and it would run 6,500 rpm's all year long.

Anyway, back to the "Cadzilla 261" the part that sounds a little sketchy to me in the first article Mongo posted is " using the grind of the offset to create a collar for side clearance " huh? really? so the edge of the bearing is riding on the edge of the crank offset to control the side clearance between the rods? I don't like the sound of that. I'd like to hear from somebody that has done it and says it works.

Thanks,
Greg
