have the crank journals been checked? block machined or are u going std. bore?
just so u know u can use an i beam rod and save some $ there, the reason i say this is, u are going to use a stock crank that can only support around 500hp and i beams can support up to 600hp. a stock block and crank are usually only good for up 2- 500hp, unless u have one of few that sonic check well and u can get away with 600hp. i put 450 passes on eagle sir rods and cast eagle crank and never had an issue. also when i freshened the engine i re-used the crank. u can ask melissa that engine went round after round after round. i made 19 passes at a rental @ island and i got there late!
all my runs were 10 second runs so it wasnt nursed.. my point is if u dont have to spend x-tra $ dont.
