I'm in the process of a 383 buildup and was thinking about using a later set of LT1 5.7" powdered metal rods. I'm hoping my motor will make close to 475 flywheel horsepower naturally aspirated.
Will the powdred metal rods be durable enough? I'd like to use them because they are native to the LT1, and are inexpensive. There's gotta be people pushing 500 horses through the stock botom end?
The crank will be a new model by Eagle. Cast, but 33% stronger than stock. This will be in a 4-bolt block.
