It is worth noting that early 1969 440s had the same connecting rods and crankshaft as in 1968, but heavier connecting rods were introduced around three months into 1969 model-year production; to offset the added weight, a new crankshaft and rebalanced vibration damper and flywheel were used. We would then use a 6.
Back then we would offset grind cranks to a 3. The second, and more accurate way to do things is this: When a block is bored and honed, it is usually bored to within five thousands of the finished size, and then honed the final five thousandths. After the boring process is completed, the machinist will be able to inspect the cylinder walls, and visually confirm that any blemishes or wear has been able to be removed by the boring process. Any sleeper pretense has vanished, but Mike and his stripped-down Plymouth will also vanish to the tune of easy high-11s on the quarter-mile. The engine gets balanced with the bearings, and once they are in, it requires tearing the engine completely down to change them, so it pays to spend a little extra in this category and buy the best you can afford.
