Anecdotal info on failed bottom ends after top end rebuilds/upgrades.

In another amusing, now closed post this "wive's tale" was brought up. I'm in my '70's and can attest to how this wive's tale grew legs ... because it happened, a lot.

The fact is increasing the...

Another thing to remeber, the ports are too high in the manifold itself. That needs to be dealt with if you want to make good power.

It was already spinning. I never really paid much attention to diffs because I never had anything powerful enough to potentially break one!

The 12-bolt is lighter and keeps the car all GM.

I actually went with the 8.5 10-bolt because it’s lighter than the 12 and has less parasitic loss than a 12-bolt simply because of the 8.5” ring...

The 366 that was supposed to replace the 350 and 400 was a round port.

So to me if you are starting from scratch (no hedders, manifolds) I would go round.

I am not sure what your engine combo is but on the old ass o meter from the roller cam I replaced with the 60919 HFT I can tell no difference in performance. Great cam if it’s a fit for your combo

3 years ago - crower 60919 with the cam saver lifters. I did not check anything. Tremendous amount of cam lube, purple break in oil. Started right up, kept between 2 - 4 k. No issues

The G tech meter we had provided pretty high mph numbers, but seemed fairly accurate on 1/4 mile times. Not close to as accurate as a draggy.

I've had a factory 455 crank break on me, so I'm in the other boat, replace it.

If you're doing rods and pistons, adding a stroker crank may not be as much as you think. It might even come out...

Stroker kits use a different piston pin height and different length rods.

If the bores look very good with no gouges in them then it would probably be safe to go with the .030 over kit. They...

I wouldn`t sweat that at all. Use your factory caps. Get some 4340 rods, a good set of full float pistons, AND a good balancer/flexplate. All balanced, of course.

Assuming you retain the existing bore.

Again, I would bet my left xxx that the bores have taper and need to be cleaned up. Not to mention the cost of a set of custom pistons.

I run a solid roller once without restricters and kicked a rod out on the dyno.
