i've been looking all over for specs on a typical 350's piston and rod. the diagram below is for a dodge v6 and i need the comparable chevy measurements for the rod length, piston diameter, whatever...not everything in this drawing, but most of the stuff in it. does anybody have a rebuild manual or know what the measurement are? i'm sure some of the stuff varies but just the most common will work.

 

what in the world are you talking about... what does a dodge v6 have anything to do with a SBC


but the typical SBC rod is 5.7 inches measured from the center of the big end to the center of the small end...

but pistons are a different story they can come in many sizes..

from 4"-4.060"+ then there is compresion distance normaly about 1.561" or so but that is dependent on the rods they will be used on....


WHAT are you really asking

 

i'm asking for the comparable chevy measurements for the measurements shown in the drawing. i'm getting a tattoo similar to the drawing and i want the measurements to be accurate (for a typical 350) since they will probably be legible. i know the dodge v6 doesn't have anything to do with a chevy....but that's the only drawing i can find that represents what i want it to look like lol

 

Gasket thickness - .015 average (stock gasket)
.039 aftermarket

Compression height - 1.56"

Block height, 9.025" (stock) or 9.00" decked

Rod length - 5.7"

Stroke - 3.48" (or 3.75" for a stroker motor)

Cylinder bore 4.00" (or say 4.030 for a rebuilt one)

The measurement in the top right that isn't labeled is probably the deck height, so that'll be ~.025"

I don't know the bearing sizes/ journal sizes off the top of my head.

 

you're the man!

btw my son loves all your games lol
