They were dirt track cars, sustained 4000 plus rpms for a half hour put wear patterns on the bearings. It was years ago, they guy building them was an MIT-graduate in Shelby, IIRC, and for all I know they were stock bottom ends.

good bottom ends down there, numerous r blocks making 500+ on stock crank and block.

stroker and lightened are the only aftermarket cranks that i know of

and dirt track cars probably define durability for 85% of parts used

Being able to hold peak power has nothing to do with sustained revs, harmonics from holding the crankshaft at/near resonant frequency as opposed to passing across it momentarily @ 500 whp, or the oil pump keeping up with those revs.

If it's not a Honda, nobody loves it.

stock oil pumps aren't made for much rpm's, and it's hard to find extended volume pumps to fit in place of the stock cover

I like a lot of ---- better than Honduhs. Check my sig, foolio. :P

Not really, you can pick that ---- up cheap at NASCAR surplus shops. There's a badass one in Charlotte, perfectly good ---- that only saw one race goes stupid cheap.

nascar isn't really a sport around here. its mostly dirt oval, drag racing, and 4x4
