I believe it's a stock crank and dimple rods. 9lbs at 6000rpms. I've never had it apart, it was originaly  built twenty five years ago before they even had all these aftermarket cranks n shit. They baught the parts new from chevy, 990's etc.

I have seen GM steel cranks used in 1400hp applications! I am not saying yours will do it , but I have seen it done!

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

i was just thinking if it would withstand an 8-71 and injection in a v drive. i am guessing it will if i don't abuse it to much. thanks for the help......
