i have a 460 dont have the money for a stroker would love it but h beam rods and forged pistons i can afford right now i have a solid flat tappet cam with an rpm range of 3,000 to 6,800 will my stock crank hold up will also be 12.5:1 compression
i used to run a stock crank in my old 466ci and i beat the crap out of it, it saw 8000 rpms by accident a few times, it was a solid roller and would not stop revving! also the car went 9s on spray.
I got a kit from them had a problem with crankshaft being too much stroke they replaced it and now i see they dont sell a 4340 4.14 crank . My rods checked fine but the bearings were offset , i guess the taps were off.
stock rods are all about the same... they generally break in the beam... and theyre safe to 5500 rpm and 550 hp assuming good tune. bad enough tune and anything can break... even a stock 224 hp smogger 460, lol
