Decent article on Rod / Stroke ratio's

Why Rod To Stroke Ratio Matters

While it is likely pretty self explanatory, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page here. It is simply the ratio between the length of the conrod and the stroke of the crankshaft. The conrod length is measured, as shown below, from the centre of the big end to the centre of the small end...

Thanks for polluting my mind with more cool stuff.

Good stuff. And IMO really should be discussed along with cylinder bore offsetting for more fun.

The wrist pin is offset on the majority of IC engines .Some engine builders claim there can be an advantage to doing the piston flop from bank to bank,so the wrist pin offset is opposite of normal. Engine masters did a show on it.

My uncle was a Chryco fanatic,and had pretty well every Direction Connection book/catalogue available back in the 70's and 80's,and the piston swap was promoted by the DC engineers even back then .With a big block Dodges long rod creating piston dwell and slower piston speeds,the swap is beneficial on them to gain some piston speed
