This is the lastest NASCAR size being used, the Michigan number is CB1798H or "V". This is available in std, +.001 and -.001. It is a small journal so you won't have to run a lot of clearance, around .0022-.0025. Beware, there is a lot of these around that have narrow rod journals. The std SBC journal width is 1.900, I have seen these as narrow as 1.720. These require a narrower rod and you will have to narrow your bearings to fit. Most of these cranks are made w/ BBC snouts, a timing set is available from cloyes and they also have a timing cover to match. Also remember that they rods you get may not have a std .927 pin. Much of the wrist pin size is well under .750". This will force you to order custom pistons. Also these rods typically have NO pin bushing which means you need to run a "casadium" coated pin ($450+) per set. I hope this helps.
