4.25 Stroke 4.530 Bore with 6.385 Rod .. very popular motor in drag racing, they seem to make very good power and it'll be one bad ass street car with that motor in there.


My thoughts on crank and rods ... I run 1000hp on motor and will spray upto 300 with the spray, Eagle has worked good, I now have K1 Rods just to try them, and have good luck so far. I had a 548 once .. it made 850hp (950 on some dynos) with 10:1 compression until it broke a oliver no bearing wear just flat broke the rod in half but the callies magnum crank went with it along with the rest of the motor. Back to eagle for me ... no matter what you use, its only as good as the machine shop doing it for ya
