What are everyone's thoughts on how much power a stock BBC crank can handle 650 - 700? 2 bolt mains

[sneakypete]

Cast crank= 400
forged steel=750

I ran a stock cast bbc one that was cracked in a blown injected engine that made 1320 on the dyno and it never broke, after a while i finally put a nice forged crank in

i had a cast crank 454 that i ran for 7 years in a all steel chevelle that ran 7.20/11.30 . thats 500 hp. through the lights quarter mile it was pulling 6800 rpm....ouch.

Just to clarify in case I misunderstood

You knowingly put a cracked cast iron crank in your engine? :?

[kwkracing]

yes it had a small crack in a counterweight
