[RPM5595]

For what it's worth, I flat will not build a 351W with stock rods anymore. Every time In the past I let a customer talk me into it for a "low buck" circle track engine the rods have broken. As was stated before if you keep it below 6000 rpm it may last, awhile. A really good "low dollar" rod for these engines is a Eagle "SIR" series with ARP bolts. MUCH better rod than the factory piece. Hope this helps.
