What do you mean?
Rod ratio goes down to 1.49 just like the H23 cause it would be an H23 crank/rod/piston
You answered my question. I need to start planning my engine build soon and I'm just taking in different ideas. A forged bottom end and sleeved block is going to be necessary unless the 100 shot gets me to the 12s(Highly unlikely.) Since I would already need forged pistons and rods, I figure that a nice stroker kit might be worth the money. Are there any bad side effects to swapping in the H23 internals? I am assuming that companies make forged rods and pistons for the H23 also.

I don't know who makes off the shelf H23 forged rods actually. We used factory shot peened rods cause there weren't any readily available. Looking back on it I should have gone with aftermarket rods.
I have been talking with Crower over e-mail and they DO make H-series crankshafts. However in BILLET only! That's really damn expensive but I'm seriously considering it.
Billet crank to any stroke would be $2400! Ouch! But he offered a full H-series stroker kit w/ billet crank for $3900 (non-billet would be $2400 but they don't do it). I could sell my pistons and bore out and go completely crazy with it....keep a long stroke and build a torque monster out of a 4 cylinder. I see that twisted performance place has an H22a stroker. I wonder how the crank is made?
I wonder what the biggest stroke on an H could be.....
I thought Crower DID make rods for H23s... if not, what about Eagle?

I'm pretty sure Crower makes stuff for us H23 guys. Or else, I'm going to have to go w/ Eagle, and have a whole bunch of stuff machined to go w/ their rods. I heard that w/ Crower rods, you don't have to get things machined, but w/ Eagle rods, you have to get your pistons machined... GRRRRR. WTF??????
