Mopar 350 Stroker

I shifted a reworked 73 340 (cast crank) at 6700 with a bell and trunnion 833 in the late 80's with a stock damper...Not knowing any better. When we freshened the short block she needed the piston pin bores oversized from the abuse...Badger cast pistons no less!

In fact one of my fondest memories is street racing a 327 Chevelle who pulled a rod cap trying to match my 2-3 gear shift timing...

All of us started somewhere
Cast pistons and cast crank at 6700?!? YIKES!
I had a malfunctioning tach cost me a cast piston 327 once. Piston head separated from the skirt, skirt dissolved and the pin put four lovely grooves into the water jacket.
Tach said I was shifting at 6000, solid lifter z28 cam, should have been good to 6500.(with the engine laying down at 5500, wtf?)
Real shift rpm was high side of 7500. Resulting in OOPS!
