Re: Turning an sB2 into a V6
Back in the '80s a local shop class instructor turned a 455 Olds into a V4 for some oddball racing class. He removed every other piston and machined some two-piece steel bobweights to bolt to the rod journals to maintain balance. I know he had it running, but I never heard how it did at the track.

You'd have a lot of extra Plenum volume going on there without a custom Intake I would have to guess!
You can cut a man's tongue from his mouth, but that does not mean he’s a liar, it just shows that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Looks like a standard two plane crank. I love the out of the box thinking. Just forget the two holes, it will be fine.
