		| FE Stroker/400M rods - What mods are required? | 
	 
		| By Bill in Michigan - 08/30/2002 7:54:38 AM; IP 136.1.1.154 | 
	 
		I'm building a FE stroker motor based upon a FT block and steel crank.  I plan on offset grinding the crank and using 400M rods.  I've seen conflicting reports as to what type of modifications are required to use the 400M rods in the FE/FT engine.  Is any special machining required?  Do the rods need to be "thinned" at the big end? 
  I would like to hear the details from someone that has built up an FE with 400M rods.    |
