3 in journel on a stroker crank hold togeather

[big G puller]

will a 3 journel on a 9.5 stroker crank with a 7 3/4 bore hold togeather or break?
 

[Lynerd]

Yes Lynn
 

[Josh Blackburn]

Why risk it. 5020 3.5 journal. You can still fit 9.5 in easy.

You'll be better off with a 3.375-3.5" journal size. The 3" will hold for a while, but the bigger ones will last a lot longer.

josh how much to do a 9.5 or 9.75 with 3.5 journels
 

[Brent50G]

Yes for a couple years as long as u keep it from detonating

1500 includes flywheel-crank-driver assembly balanced as one unit.

I have a 9.75 stroke, 6.375 bore, about 9 to 1 compression. Been running since 2004 with no problems yet. Has been pulled pretty hard in 10,200 lb. class many times. Works real well.
Oh yes it has a 3 inch journal!

She has to last in order to place first

Tree Topper, Your 3" journal should be very reliable at 622 cu in. We're running 3" journals on A's with more cubes than that, and just replaced a crank after 6 years (before it broke). The engine in question will have 896 cubes, almost half again more than yours, and needs the bigger journal to have decent reliability. Mike

well iv been running this crank for 7 yrs with 3 in journels 7.5 block thats 832 cubes block went bad so if im gonna replace block to 7 3/4 im going with a new crank shaft befor it breaks
 

[buickanddeere]

A 3.5" journal has 1.361 times more material than a 3.0" journal.
 

[Tree Topper]

Yes I know this is not a very big G as compared
to what is being built these days, but this set up has worked very well for me. Been very reliable. Don't use the engine up very often even in heavy classes. Lots of fun.
