If your talking about using a 4.500 stroke crank in a stock 440 block and race it when do you expect that grenade to explode? I wouldn't put that large of a load on the 440 main webs, even with a "girdle" and block filler Remember the designed strength of the B and RB type blocks is in the oil pan rail supports and block skirt, the main webs are not intended or designed to hold much above 700 HP. Sticking a set of main studs and using the oil pan bolts to hold a girdle on the bottom is not my idea of a good design, more like a poor bandiad ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) Save your money and buy a good block to start with
Well , i do not run that stroker but I know of 2 that run very well deep into 9,30 with 410 geared cars , 3000# with pro comp full port max wedge heads,, have been together for several years with just normal issues in refreshing after 2 years of campaining How ever,, I have seen those same cars run 9.40 with 500 stroked motors and stock out of the box RPM heads
Finding the right combo , right mix of parts Being able to tune a combo, tires gear converter Is an age ole racers search as much as the fountain of youth
