After breaking something in my engine the other night it seems that my rebuild will be brought forward 5 months. I'm rebuilding a 305 with the intention of having a D1sc blower running about 10-15psi of boost. Now, obviously I need forged pistons but what about the crank and rods? I've spoken to Willie and the guy at my local speed shop and they both rekon that the stock items are fine as the engine wont be a high rever.

Just looking for other peoples opinions. At the moment I'm planing to kep the stock items unless anyone comes up with anything else.

Thanks for the opinions and your time

Mods
Custom exhaust. 4 Inch pipe from the headders all the way back to a single muffler at the rear. No Cat. K&Ns, AFPR and Air foil.

Future mods:
Cam change
New torque converter
New heads (maybe corvette L98)
Strut brace
Sub frame connectors
Ram Air

Current G-Tech times
0-60mph 6.26 seconds
1/4 14.74@100.2mph

 

Add some cubes and build a 355, 383, or 406.

The Scat 5140 crank and rod are rated for 600-700 hp.

 

Anyone else have any comments?

 

Are those Scat cranks available in 1 piece RMS's? I haven't found one anywhere...
