440 duster. Need engine build advice

I know the BBC guys run 454 cast cranks to 500hp all day with no issues at all (even the stock car guys) So I'm assuming you could safely do something similar with a 440RB.

I would look into having the cast crank and recip assembly internally balenced. I've hear of it being done. however you may have as much Money in it as a forged unit will cost you.

If you want to extrernally balence it Moparlover is spot on.

Try 600 hp easy on cast crank BBCs, You can safely run a cast crank in a BBM at 500+ hp all day long, Don't be afraid of cast cranks, If the assembly is all balanced with lighter pistons it'll last forever.
