Hi, Eric,

The center hole on this one is only 2.5" instead of the Packard V8 3.125". If it had fit the crank, it would already be back from the machine shop and on an engine. I am building a 374" for my Studebaker 3/4t, so a lot of flywheel would be good to have there.

Asking for your input on this truck engine, I am boring a 352" to 374", with good, used stock pistons, using the '55 camshaft which has shorter timing and '55 heads, which have smaller intake valves and a combustion chamber slightly better squish and low speed burn characteristics than the '56 cam and heads. Should pull well and have as good fuel economy as is possible with a 374" in a truck. What do you think?

thnx, jack vines
