Re: ZL-1 motor build

Al,

This is always an interesting BBC subject. I believe the
reason that the '7115 crankshaft was used in the L-88
and ZL-1 applications was due mainly to the towering
dome heights of the pistons and the reciprocating forces
that ensued.

I've never gotten a definitive answer on that issue. Anyway know?
