when the green flag drops the bull$hit stops

Gold 85 Camaro with no motor, pulled the 2.8 to make way for a 350 wich was pulled this summer because a 406 will replace it. The 406 sports a stock bottom end with ARP bolt holding it togeter, flat top hyper pistons. Comp 282 solid cam(.528 lift with 1.6 rockers) Savin up for my Sportsmen 2 heads right now. still Have the perf RPM and 650 DP i used on the 350. Headers and 3inch exhust. Shooten for mid to low 12s next summer

 

I'm not 100% on this, but to my knowledge, nodular IS cast.

Nodular is cast correct, but a much stronger casting, on 66-73 engines they used nodular iron cranks that were quite a bit stronger, you can tell a nodular crank as on the crank itself on the first counterweight will be a big N cast into it.

 

cool man thanks

All stock 400 cranks are the same casting #... 509 if memory serves correctly... all are nodular cast.
