I was reading on another thread about putting a 292 crank in a 250. I know it isn't easy but it is doable. Here's my question. Could a 292 crank be shortened and put into a 153 or 181 to stroke them? It would add 0.075" to the 153 and 0.040 to the 181. 1" to a 151. If you cut the front there would be no snout for the balancer. If you cut the rear the flywheel hub would have to be reattached. If you cut the middle you'd have two 2 cylinders in the same block. But I bet it can be done.
It would make a 181 or 151 into a 200+ and a 153 into almost 195. All with standard bores. Those would be some snorty torquey 4 bangers!
