Power brakes??

Prostock Tom,Yea,I been considering a 400/451 build. I have an early block. I have a 440 crank and rods. I'd have a shop just turn mine down to the 7.25 radius, clearance the block ad buy some pistons. I think the factory forged crank is better than the chinese cranks,,,source and such. I can polish the rods,find a shop that still shot peens etc,add arp waveloc bolts. 440's cheaper but 400/451 fits better with my options. Not gonna get too carried away with the build. Just don't want an LS engine steppin on my car.

All you need is a friend with a lathe to turn the counterweights. Do not forget the chamfer

(bevel) the counter weight edges to clear the block near the main webbing. I am sure you

can find an article that shows how it's one. I have turned the counter weights down on

several dozen cranks. Not hard to do at all.
