    Short stroke turbo motor

    Had anyone ever ran or heard of running
    A 4.8 crank in a 6.0 block. Does anyone know
    If the mains are the same diameter.
    I've been in turbo 1st gen small block Chevy
    Cars with short strokes and they are freakin rockets!!
    But just curious if anyone has done that with a IV gen?

    Would be a sick engine. What turbo would match up well to that?

    I've always wondered but you can't ever find much info on this subject. I think you should be the guinea pig and try it!

    So theoretically all you would have to do is drop a 4.8 crank and rods into a 6.0 and it'll be just fine? Does anyone make good 4.8 rods?

    I bet a 76mm with a big turbine would be sick on that setup. And you can run L92 heads!
