Whats the biggest crank I can use in a stock block? I have 94 piston with a stock crank which is a 1914. What is the calculation for the CC size?
I just want to be able to put in the largest motor without having to cut the block.

I think you are stuck with the 69.
Even a 74 crankshaft would require a bit of case trimming.

Will the 74 fit without having to align bore it and just clearance the sides? Or even a larger crank without having to align bore.

Align boring and crankshaft clearancing are two different operations.
I can almost say any engine case with a fair amount of time on it will need align bored no matter what your plans are.
Align boring is the process of machining the main bearing tunnel through the case to correct any "pounding" that usually occurs in a magnesium case.
This is the surface where the bearing locates after align boring.

Crankshaft clearancing is just that, removing material in the case to swing a larger than stock crankshaft.
Here is an example.

How far you need to go depends on how big the stroke is.
IMHO if you are gonna clearance one for a stroker crank, might asa well be a big one.......... :mrgreen:

One other thing, if you go bigger than about 76, you'll need to clearance the camshaft too.

We also had to clearance the crank with my 84. The counterweights would hit the cam lobes.

78 is the largest that I can use without boring it for a stroker. I know that I will have to clearance for the balancers to clear. So what would a 78 crank and 94 pistons give me?

Thanks Travis, How did you come up with that? I have tried and never get it right. I am missing a step in the calculations.
