I talked to the guys who built the 11-second
Ford-powered Datsun-Z car again to get more specifics on their
stroker motor.

The 351W engine uses a stroked 351W crank, Mopar 340 rods which
must be side-ground to fit the Windsor crank, and .060 over
350 Chevy pistons. It works out to just 383 cubic inches, not
over 400 which I had posted before.

They put their 4200 stall converter back in the car (they tried
a 3500 stall to avoid pulling the front wheels of the ground,
but lost too much ET and put it back in.)
With the new camshaft, the car will go 11.50's muffled with L60-15 DOT tires.
