To even be relatively competitive, you need to be 200°+ duration on the cam, 12mm seem to work quite well if they have flat plungers and a 903 cam. 64mm or larger bowl and flycut them, balancing and a girdle are extra, plenty run without them. Block stiffener plates help, weld the crank gear.

I am leaning towards having the rotating assembly balanced
Where to find this piece?
ya I was going to do SS but now have wandered to the 2.6
hmmmm
Thats what I was thinking too
I will have to look into that
got mains ARP is putting me a rod kit together
I already have the con- rods so there going in
I am using a industrial cam for the 12V it has a higher and longer lift whats the benefit of the 24V core?
All that ^^^

I have never had/seen 24V rods on a 12V whats required?

It's common practice, the crank keyway will not hold, we weld the cam gears also, as do many others.

Stock short block 300K miles with only a block stiffener, crank and cam are both welded.
Front right axle broke 5 seconds in.

Pulls better without a broken axle.

The bypass was routed back to the radiator, you can see it mounted to the fender.
