J-Madd Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 I searched and have found limited info on how to go about doing this. I already have a 4 mil, but I was wanting to make my stock stroker a 4 mil as well. I know Cubs are cast for a particular stroke, just wanting to know how to make it work and put the port timings were they need to be. This will be for mainly just drag racing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quote

Any suggestions would be appreciated. You'll definitely need some custom domes cut to allow for the longer stroke, and run the thinnest base gasket, or none to keep your port timings down. I'd probably consider selling your stock stroke cub setup and using the proceeds for a 4mm casting though. I think it would probably run much better. Good luck. :thumbsup: Quote

J-Madd Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Posted August 8, 2007 are you asking how to make a stock stroke cub into a 4mil cub? Yep. Anyone want to buy a 68 mm stock stroke Cub, pistons, domes (20cc) and trued/welded crank if I can't do this? Quote

You can do it, but I dunno how it would compare to just getting the 4mm casting performance wise. BigRed350X is the only one I know of that ran that kind of setup. Might call some builders and ask them too. I'm sure they could tell you with a lot more accuracy than us. Quote
locogato11283 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 id sell it and buy a 4mm cast cub.. Quote
alcoholbanshee Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 It can be done and made to run well......Send it to a reputable builder and they will set it up. There are plenty of 10mils built on 7 mil cubs....and even more 14mils built on 10 mil cubs. And most run very hard!!!! Quote
Bansh-eman Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 doesnt make much sence to pay more money to have it ported to a 4mil, you can sell it and buy new jugs for less that are casted to already take the stroke Quote
