[Land-speed] Destroking a Crankshaft...

[Rich Fox]

As fvar as the 260 being rare. If you want a block and crank from a '63 1/3
Falcon sprint 260. Drop on by. Free for the hauling.  RF

What displacement is your target Mayf?
Ford made 221 and 260 Windsors, but the 221 is a collectors item and 260 are
almost as rare.

I would call several engine builders and see if they can help you. Given
enough money, of course,
any large machine shop could do the job. The biggest problem is finding a set
of shop blueprints
that can be used to set up the CNC equipment.

A thought, find someone who makes billet 289 cranks and see if the could alter
the CNC setup
to give you the stroke you need.

Welding a cast crank is a lost art. Back in the '60's and '70's there were 2
or 3 guys that could do it.
As I recall. you had to keep the entire crank at around 800 or 900 degrees and
then let it cool overnight.
