I put a lot of of high 9, low 10 second passes on stock 440 rods with upgraded rods bolts,and polished and shot blasted beams. Some broke, some didn't. Would I do it again with whats available now? HECK NO. Another thing to remember was that back then most of us were running stock cranks and HEAVY TRW or Sealed Power pistons.




Would you be talking about the L2295 heavy weight pistons?

I run them with a CD 286-750 roller camshaft.







Oh ya those same pistons and I still have probably 3 of the old 286 duration 750 lift cams on my shelf. They were GREAT cams back then and made some nice power with the old garage ported 906 heads. LOL. I finally sold off all my old TRW, Sealed Power pistons last Summer.
