the de stroked engine is to reduce the throw of the crank allowing it to rev easier, and have less chance of throwing a rod. the piston also has less distance to travel per revolution therefore reving easier. not to allow for more valve clearance.

Mayhem knows a fair bit about the car.

Last time that vid was posted he mentioned the crash, due to bottom ball joint failure IIRC.
