(BBC of course) thats the only good thing in those stroker fords. You can make over 500 inches with a 9.800 deck BBC. I've built alot of Ford motors in fact my day job for the last 22 years has been a master tech for a Ford dealer.

Ill take 10 well placed and much stronger head bolts over 16 small bolts with most located on the deck any day (and some in the water jacket!) , but to each his own i guess. Have fun distorting your deck due to the ill concieved design of where chevy decided to put your head bolts.
Larger cranks do help the ford. Just for quick reference look at SCATS 9000 series (cheap/cast) crank for the 460,it has an HP rating of 900hp and the FORGED 454 crank (over twice as much $$$$) is only rated at 100more hp. The cast 454 can only take 700hp. according to them.
And no, we dont run crummy Chevy rods, we run aftermarket rods that are the most common in size which happen to be 2.2in at the journal which the BBC guys run as well. I run SCAT rods, last i checked they aint GM.
