Default What makes a 331?

Just curious what combination of parts, bore, and stroke makes a 331? Is there any block clearing needed for this? Thanks--Jeremie

How do I achieve the "29 inches"? With what parts, stroke, and bore makes up for that?

4.030" bore, 3.25" stroke, 5.4" piston

Clearancing depends on the rod and bolt used. Generally no clearancing is needed for a 331.
