I was wondering if nodular iron cranks are safe for stroker applications such as a 383 or 496? Will they hold up to roughly 6000 rpm and street/strip abuse. I see a lot of inexpensive stroker kits on websites and magazines and figured it's about the same as just rebuilding my tired 350 but I cannot afford to jump up to the forged status.
Thanks for the help.

 

rpm isn't as much the issue as HP wpuld be. nodualr is a step above cast and a notch below forged. i doubt you'll have any problems with a nodular crank but i would use a power added with it.

 

Not to dare put words in Ede's mouth (after all, he IS the metallurgist), but I believe what he meant to write was "...but I wouldn't use a power adder with it."

 

lol yeah vader you caught me thinking faster than i can type, i did mean to say wouldn't instead of would
