- Hi Randall, I did qualify my statement to say that - see below. My assumption that combustion chambers space was part of the engine capacity appears to be wrong. It certainly doesn't appear to be par

- 4/13/99 Tom, The distance in question is definitely the same for the Rover 3.5, Buick Special, and Olds F-85. It seems very unlikely to me that it would be any different for the Rover 3.9, Buick 300

- . . . True. We've already got someone on buick-rover-v8 stuffing a Buick 350 crank (3.875" stroke) into a P76 block, which requires minimal clearancing and turning down the mains. And other lists I'v

- I have measured a 3.5 litre P5B (10.5/1 comp) piston, it's compression height was 1.865" (and a P76 piston was 1.375" (different block height, stroke, rod length and 9/1 comp)).

- Glenn, would the same piston mods work if I were to stuff the 4.2 crank into a 3.5 block( ie, on a 3.5 piston?)? And, as I don't know formulas all that well what kind of displacement would we be look

- It's quite easy to figure out displacement if all you do is change the stroke. Your current displacement is 100%. Multiply that times the percentage of additional stroke, and add that to your origina
