That's it. My beloved Six cylinder Ford engines, 200's, 221's and 250's don't get above 1.505:1. The 68-70 221 has a 1.485:1 rod to stroke ratio (its an I6, not the US SBF 221). They rank as the lowest Rod to stroke ratios. Same as the iamese bore 400 Small block Ch***
Ford OZ in 1998 spent millions of bucks retooling the old 250 based I6 block's rods and pistons to move from a 1.505 rod ratio to 1.55:1 ratio. That's a hang of a lot of dosh to buy a 0.04 gain.
They then spend a few million getting the 3.4" crank and 5.35" rods and 1.163" pistons for a 1.573:1 rod ratio. Down from the 302's 1.70:1. LOST 0.127, gained 40 hp and 52 lb-ft, and the crowed when WILD!
In so doing, they made the first production Ford Stroker 347 (well, a 342 actually, not 30 thou over).Sadly, very late in the piece, 2002. From the last Explorer XLT 5.0 and Mountainer GT 40 P blocks. It never split or had issues becasue they plateau honed, and got some nice SPS Hyper pistons to look after the thinwall castings.
But Dart uses longer 5.4 rods for a brilliant 1.588:1 ratio with its 3.4" crank stoke. And 1/4" between the bores...solid, Spheriodal Grain Hi Nickel Cast Iron.
IRON. The stuff Ford loved to take out of every 1969 to 1985 block, Dart put back in, under the assitance of Cactus Jack Roush!
Can you see the smile on my face?
Hundereds of engines have sub 1.6:1 rod ratios, and the best of them, 455 Pontiacs, and BBC C***y's, just lap it up.
I'm a long rod kind guy, but SHP have done there homework on this little jem.
About time too.
