I ran one up there for a few hundred runs with good rods in the engine. No problems with the crank. The main caps and the oil system was a different story. My experience is the oil system needs some pretty involved modifications to keep the rod bearings in it. And you don't want to detonate it. To go from 6500 to 7500 is a BIG difference in them.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

On a side note you might go to FABO & read Sanborns & Guitar Jones oiling articles & also the in depth SB threads. More detail than you would ever imagine/need/use. EDIT I think the Sanborn article is at: www.moparchat.com then scroll down to & click on "circle track chat"

Any input on using an OEM 360 cast crank in a upper 500HP low 600HP 7500RPM at the stripe bracket motor. H beam rod with 500 gram piston. Tips? Tricks? Yea / Nay Low 10's @ 3200 pounds is very doable and easy 9's in a light combo with a stock 360 crank. I'm not real sure why you want to shift at 7500 whens its NOT necessary but to each his own.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Current engine combo runs 126 @ 7000 to 7100. New engine should run 130. The block has all the oil system mods to keep it happy. Think I'm going with a SCAT forged unit. Your current combo runs real well for a build with spare parts. I'm looking forward to the results with your new build
