Less headaches? I don't think it's fair to draw that conclusion. Yes, you can get a bigger drop... but there are certainly challenges with this method as well.

I agree. Same hassle but more drop.

The 'Z' also requires a competent weld from someone that knows what they're doing. The crossmember notch can be pulled off by a novice welder.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
