Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 285709, member: 578"] IMO it all depends on the quality and consistency of the OEM rods before hand. If you could hand pick them out of a pile that would be ideal; where you could mic them at various points and weigh them. If 500-550 is the final goal, my guess and that is all it would be, is they would hold. Use arp fasteners. I would think filling the block partially would also be a good idea. Balancing the assemble as well. As you know a number of people are running in that power range these days with stock bottom ends and holding up fine. Weld up the cam gear to the cam shaft end along with the piston cooling jets so they stay put long term. Take care of the pickup as well. Some of the things I see the BTDT guys recommending. IMO key is getting a great tuner that also tends to be conservative with SOI timing. [/QUOTE]
