Has anyone had their G149/G138/G160 crank offset ground? What rod did you end up using? My crank is going to need turned so I'm thinking about going ahead and getting some more power while im at it.

The offset grinding of a crankshaft was never intended to be used on an engine that was expected to go back to "work".  The strength of the crankshaft is compromised (weakened) by doing this. You want more HP ?? Use higher compression pistons and a larger carburetor. Grind the crank to whatever makes it smooth and round hagain. No one will offset grind your crank for the same price that they will just grind it the normal way.

I already have the higher comp pistons just looking for some more displacement.

listen to the sages, or go with a G160 engine.  If you had seen the broke cranks we used to see  ..........................

If you want POWER, TURBOCHARGE it Thumbs Up

  After I finish with work that is needed in the rear and transmission, it will get bigger tires. 
If you remove the pan, you'll see how close the top of the rod bolts get to the cam as things are now. There is really no room to get closer. As the cam is hollow, you don't want to go grinding into it for clearance.. The rod journals are small enough already, so you really don't want to go using a different rod with a smaller journal if you expect it to live. I've seen a motor that the fellow said was a 4" stroke, although all he could show me was an inspection hole in the right side.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

It will just be used to hook to the sled a few times a year. Mainly tug pulling but possibly some speed pulls.

Larger carb and improved manifold is external and easy. Taller pistons to raise compression up to 240 psi or a little more would require racing fuel, but will increase your HP/torque if you aren't at that level already. What does your engine currently have for cranking compression pressure  ???  120 Psi ??

Yes my 3 other g149s have around 120-150. I was wanting to make this engine a little meaner. I bought this engine stuck and have most of what I need to put it together just thought I'd see if anyone was running an offset ground crank for a little more power.

You have thee PERFECT opportunity to make it better than ANY of your other engines.  240 psi of cranking compression and 110 octane gasoline is a very easy upgrade, especially when replacing pistons anyway. Remember ignition timing will have to be retarded to around 20 degrees BTDC instead of 30 degrees. Dyno timing is the best to know where the sweet spot is.

DrAllis is there a piston currently for this application or is it custom made? I have the 160 specifically that I wouldn't mind sticking high compression pistons in.

Here is another option:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Allis-Chalmers-Basic-Engine-Kit-Fits-D10-D12-D14-D15/171376201231?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I don't know what you get for C/R with it but, it gives you 154.5 CI.

Since your crank needs to be turned, you can get 1 more CI (155.5) and a little more compression, if you can get your local machine shop to offset grind your crank .025 (.0125 off center) for a 3.900 stroke, by using .030 under rod bearings.

The compression rise would be similar to using a .012 thinner head gasket.

If the distance from the pin to the top of the piston (CH) is the same as a stock piston, you gain compression there too.
