Type 1 Wedgemate Crank into 2.1 WBX Case

Post by 23split »

Searching for information or main bearing guidance to fit an 88mm Wedgemate Crank and flywheel into an 2.1 WBX Case for a 4" bore engine build.
I have read many posts but nothing has clearly identified which bearing to use.
I'm sure we can figure it out, but if someone here has already done the exercise it would be great to follow their lead.
Otherwise, I'll start the conversation and hopefully compile the answer for anyone who considering fitting a Type 1 crank into a WBX crankcase.
Have access to and the skillset to do almost any crankcase machining that might be needed so shouldn't need to outsource help in that department.
Let's get the conversation started.

Better would be to have the WBX crank stroked to your needs so you can use a stock bolt-on flywheel.

Thanks for that suggestion Bruce2.
It would be great to do that and take advantage of having the matching sizes, but I already have the crank, the Chevy rods, the case and a bunch of other parts I'm attempting to use in this build.
Have you built a Oxyboxer yourself?
Keen to hear any experiences you can share.
Cheers
