      NOTES:
      I have verifed the 6G72& 6G74 information BUT All 6G75 information came from threads on 3SI.org.
      The "STROKER" engine is an idea for maximum displacement using following components:
      6G75 Block Overbored 1mm to 96mm.
      6G75 Crankshaft offset ground from 55mm to 50mm so that 6G72 bearings can be used.
      Custom connecting rods and pistons.
      Offset grinding the crank this much might not be a good idea but 4.1L is 1.1L increase.
      THAT would be a fun engine while it lasted:)

      Another advantge of the 6G74 block is that the deck height is 18mm higher. The extra deck height provides extra room for longer connecting rods. Below is a visual model showing how longer rods reduce connecting rod accelleration and increase piston dwell at TDC

      The 3 pictures below show 3 rod and pistons combinations.

      1. 12mm shorter rods (140mm) with 12mm longer wrist pin location (43.5mm)
        rodlengthtdc12mm

      2. 4mm longer rods (156mm) with 4mm shorter wrist pin location (27.5mm)
        rodlengthtdc4mm

      3. Stock 6G74 rods (152mm) with stock wrist pin location (31.5mm)
        rodlengthtdcstock

      This was just to show that at TDC the piston sticksout above the head 2.4mm in all combinations.


      Now I turn the crank 25degrees and discover that in this position the piston has moved more with shorter rods.
      You can also see that the rod angle is greater with shorter rods

      COMMENTS:

      1. Piston Acceleration of a 6G74 4.0L Strokers at 7300RPM is very close to 6G72 Engine at 8300RPM
