I have run into a snag with component weights for my 454 project.
I am just freshening this engine, but am using new dome pistons to raise compression. I do not want to have to re-balance the stock crank, but the new piston/pin/ring assembly weighs a whopping 68 grams more than the stock...
I am freshening up a Gen 6 454 for my daily driver.
Boring and honing are not in the budget, and the stock bores are ok, so they will be de-glazed with my 320 grit ball hone. I am using plain cast iron rings, and new small dome pistons to achieve a bit over 10:1 compression.
I would like to...
