Just double checking:

Installing a 198 crank/rod combo into a 225 block makes it a 198 right? It will fit with no modification?

Wanting to build a 198 in the future.

Thanks

AFAIK yes, that's the only difference. What you could do is take those 198 rods and stick them on a 225 crank, then you would have a long rod 225.

Yep, crank and rods are the only difference between a 198 and a 225. I bought a remanufactured 198 short block a while back. I sold the rods and crank out of it. I used the money to rebuild some 225 rods with ARP bolts, and polish a 225 crank.

Thanks guys,thats what I thought.

THOR- I know about the long rod motor. But I want to build a 198 for my future turbo build. Im liking the 1.92 R/S ratio,and shorter stroke for winding it up.
