The only BBO forged stroker cranks that I'm aware of are reground 65-67 cranks. It's possible to gain 1/4" of stroke by offset grinding the throws down to 2" and using Chevy rods. Unfortunately, all this work only gets you back to a 455 stroke. Good luck finding one of the ultra-rare forged 455 cranks. It is possible to weld the crank throws before grinding, allowing a greater increase in stroke. Expect to pay dearly. The alternative is a custom machined billet crank, if you want to drop serious cash.
