Quote: 676 hp with a cast 440 crank and stock 400 rods! Hows that for a cheap bottom end?
Even with the "short" 6.358" rods, R/S ratio still calcs out at 1.696.
The ProComp cylinder heads were done by MCH and were pretty trick, flow in the mid 300s. That's where the power came from.

Yeah Randy's intake gaskets were a little over the limit in thickness. It was fun sanding them down in the 9th hour (with Wesley Roberson over my shoulder) and bolting the intake on within a few seconds 'till disqualification. Randy's Pro-comps did well however his engine was really really low-buck and didn't deserve to score last that year. My Pro-Comps were heavily customized and the results were good. J.Rob
