When you did your crank did you narrow the journals for V8 rods, or get standard 6 widths in a 6" rod?
I've been toying with having the crank welded then reground for big journal SBC rods, this would open up a bunch of rod/piston combos. Not sure that the cost of the crank work would not be less than the cost of custom rods, particularly if several combos were to be tried.
Also, why not a hydraulic roller if it's mostly a cruiser? Would get rid of that annoying lash problem....
