I raced 1/8th mile weekly from mid 80's to 2011 with only pontiacs. 400s and 455s. Only when i built my last 455 did I go with good rods and turned that one 6500 rpms.. Always used stock cranks. Never damaged a rod or crank the whole time.
Bought a 70 lemans once off someones lawn. 350 2 barrel. Got it home and noticed it had a quarter sized hole right through the oil pan.
