Destroking

**drtlvr** · 12-12-2010, 06:54 AM

I was thinking of destroking my crank from a stock rod journal to a 2" journal by offset grinding. Not to help the engine run better necessarily, but so I can take some weight off the car. It's a 2300 ford in a Mustang. How many cc's can be lost this way?

if u was math smart u'd no u only take off .040" off the crank pin u wouldnt see a friken diff and u wont be no faster anyway

Thanks for doing nothing except pissing me off. It's getting to be pretty normal on this board to get crap like this aint it. I'll figure it out somewhere else.

Racedad the 2.0 ranger crank is the same as a 2.3 crank. The bore size is just smaller on the 2.0 ranger.

Oops you are right.I should have looked up the specs before I posted.Seems like somebody (Esslinger?)
used to sell a destroked crank for the pound per cc guys.

King's Crankshaft will cut whatever stroke you want on a billet core with rods, pistons, rings, bearing, and so forth.

With a 3.8" bore on the 2300, de-stroking .040" would decrease your total engine capacity by right at 30cc. So...... at 1#/cc, you could remove 30# from the car. Or, budget permitting, go to the extreme & pay ~$1,600 for a 2.75" ADI Esslinger de-stroker, plus rods & pistons, to reduce the engine capacity by 719cc. But I doubt you'd be able to take that much weight out of your Mustang to take full advantage of the much smaller engine size. -Dave-
