Sport Compact Car article...
Did anyone see the 'Techno Babble' article in the September 2000 edition. The guy discusses the possibility of putting the crank from a VG30DE into a VQ30DE. Here's part of the article:
While the VQ30 gets it's 3.0 (2988 cc actually) from a big 93-mm bore and a tiny 73.3 stroke, the older VG30 uses a smaller 87.1 bore and much longer 83.1 stroke. So putting a VG crank in a VQ would give you a still undersquare 93 x 83.1-mm, resulting in a 3387 cc engine. A VQ34DE would inevitably end up making quite a bit more power than a VQ30. In fact, 300 naturally aspirated horsepower doesn't seem out of the question.
Is this possible or is it just a "that'd be cool if it could be done" sort of thing?

The crank won't fit. The main bearing journals aren't in the same positions if I remember correctly..

I saw something on Cheston's site.

It's still has 'Coming Soon' in red below it though. I'm very interested what this will be.
Factory Stroker Crank - looks good to me just need a tester
