Question Post 74 Crank Strength

Would a 77 400 crank that is crack free survive in a 600 horse motor being spun to 6000, if every thing else is capable? I heard that all cranks built after 74 werent as strong as the early ones. Is that true?

Would I be better off finding a pre 74 crank.

I personally would look for an earlier crank; they are fairly easy to come by. And remember you can also use a 350 crank as long as you are balancing everything

I agree, if you can't find one local give Paul Spotts a call he has a bunch of them, stock or machined whatever you want. http://www.spottsperformance.com
