4G64 crank?

[Hideki]

Seeing as my 4G63 is now torn apart getting rebuilt, I got this crazy idea that now would probably be a good time to make mine a 2.3 using a 4G64 crank. I was searching and got some info. My only real question is, aside from needing the crank from a 4G64 what other parts do I need to make it work? I really don't want this to turn into a rant and rave about why a stroker is a good idea or not either

shorter rods.

Actually most stroker kits use the same rods, but use custom pistons that move the wrist pin higher up.

They use stock length rods and a set of off the shelf stroker pistons. PM me for more info.

Stock rods, any manufacturers "stroker pistons", and you need to grind you're main caps as well as a small portion on the block to allow for clearance of the rod bolts. It's really simple.

Standard length rod of your choice with a stroker piston. We've got some specials on piston and rod combos right now. PM me if you're interested.

Main Bearings/Thrust washer is the same for the 7-bolt 4G64 crank?

I'm in the same boat as the OP

Are you stroking a 6 or 7 bolt? If 6 bolt I would recommend you size your rods properly to get a kiggly girdle around those mains. Not all rods will clear it.

*edit* I also hope you have some money invested into your trans (specifically the center diff). The increased torque will cause the fatigue life to change.

98 7-bolt. I'd love to get the kiggly girdle, but I can't really afford it. The AT has a fresh rebuild with all the fixins, but the diff is stock. We'll see how long it lasts. I figure, with the converter pre-loading the drivetrain, the chance for breakage from the added lowend/midrange would be minimal.

You don't need a kiggly girdle for a 2g 7-bolt as they have a main girdle from the factory.

the converter will take will take some of that extra beating away. automagic FTW!!

I know, I thought you may have been referring to some super billet upgraded girdle or something, ! (billet is the new buzz word, right )

I don't mean to continue hi-jacking this thread, but I want to confirm my research and I think it is highly related to the original topic.

I have a 97 bare block that I am using for this build. It uses the 360 thrust bearing as opposed the split wash of my current 98 block. Are the pros/cons to either? I did several searches and only found anecdotal evidence, nothing concrete.

Lastly, I can use a crank from any of the following correct?

CHRYSLER SEBRING (2001 - 2004)
DODGE STRATUS (2001 - 2003)
EAGLE SUMMIT (1993 - 1996)
EAGLE SUMMIT DL (1993 - 1996)
EAGLE SUMMIT LX (1993 - 1996)
MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE (2000 - 2003)
MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE SPYDER (1999 - 2003)
MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE SPYDER GS (1996 - 1998)
MITSUBISHI EXPO (1993 - 1995)
MITSUBISHI EXPO LRV (1993 - 1994)
MITSUBISHI EXPO SP 1993
MITSUBISHI GALANT (1999 - 2004)
MITSUBISHI GALANT DE (1997 - 1998)
MITSUBISHI GALANT ES (1994 - 1998)
MITSUBISHI GALANT GS 1994
MITSUBISHI GALANT LS (1994 - 1998)
MITSUBISHI GALANT S (1994 - 1996)

I found a 4g64 crank out of a 3g (2001) eclipse. I can use that, right? I found a post or two in the hundreds of 4g64 threads indicating that I could, but I want to make sure. Also, I have brand new 4g63 rod bearings... can I use them?

EDIT* I'm pulling the trigger on the 3g crank... if I can't use it, hopefully I can sell it

Im curious to the answer of this too, any one know?
