I just wanted to know what his opinion was.I showed Ed this thread...I talk to him all the timeHere is what he had for you...Ask this genius what the rod angularity is on a big block Chevrolet? A 454 in particular. Also the 400 small block Chevy. A 3.75 stroke and a 5.535 rod! When a small block ford cracks, it's in between the main saddles and the cam bores. They are weak in that spot whether there's a 2.890 stroke or a 3.500 stroke crank in there. They usually crack from detonation and not rod angularity. Some people are just so intrigued by internet rhetoric with absolutely no practical knowledge.... I built a few 358 inch small block Ford stroker engines with reground, cast iron 351C (3.48 stroke) cranks from CHP and their H beam 5.500 rods. All in stock blocks. Shifting at 6000 RPM and they'll run forever! One of the combinations from a while ago was street racing and toasted a DSS built, long rod 306 with an S-Trim! It consistently ran 11.00s at the track, all shifting the C4 at 6000 RPM. Imagine that... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />imp:</blockquote>
