Then you can also take into consideration side load and point where peak piston speeds( not avg) occur. Piston dwell TDC/BDC also a factor. Yep them old 4" stroke "440" combos work great. A 4.255 bore 4" stroke would be a different 455 than we know lol.

So I will go faster with a 4.25 crank?
Langer,Dwight and Jeff too?
