Well, by that criteria, the stock" engine, at 144/86.4 = 1.6666667, barely

~Someone asked about rod ratios before.  I've been poking around

~
~http://www.dunegoon.org/rod_ratio.html

~It doesn't use weight and doesn't give inertial loads.  There are
~some suggestions given as
~to optimal rod ratios, and the ones that calculate out from the
~Eurospec 2.6 liter stroker kit
~are outside those suggestions.  It comes out to be
~1.507829109947644 (I didn't round),
~and the range suggested is between 1.65 and 2.00.  This is using
~5.6692 inches rod length,
~converted from 144mm, and 95.5mm stroke.

~But people still say it works.
