Build the thing. You could get an aftermarket crank, girdle etc, and have way more money wrapped up in overkill too. Opinions are just that.. so too all these aftermarket crank advocates, show me a picture of a broken factory forged 440 crank.
Thanks! That was originally my thinking. I won't put a girdle on it, I never thought I needed that. I've never seen a factory forged 440 crank break at the power level I'm looking at either. And I was asking for opinions, but mostly about the degree of machining on the rod journals. I'm not sure about possibly having to go .030. Even if the machinist says not to sweat it. That was my biggest concern....
I hope nobody takes any of my posts the wrong way, I'm totally open to listening to what anyone has to say, about anything. I don't know everything, and don't claim to! I value what anyone says, and will always take it into some kind of consideration! ;)
