i have an 88 GT i am building for a street/strip car. the car already has a 12 pt cage and full tubular suspension. it will not be a DD at all and might be driven 500-1000 miles a year on the street.
i picked up a complete 74 351W and am considering building a decent 408 using a set of 205 Brodix CNC heads. it will be a carbed motor and i plan on spraying 200 or so on it for the track. would a cast crank be good enough for this to hold up for a reasonable amount of time? i was planning on an eagle cast crank, eagle H beams and bullet pistons. still up in the air about a main girdle or not.
if anyone has some recommendations one what route would be best for this build please chime in. i am coming from a couple of 600-750 hp mod motor cars and i'm not too familiar with the push rod stuff yet
