Re: Aftermarket Cranks
Todd if the cranks can only be turned to -.070 under OEM size, the "length custom" rod with housing bore of 2.325'' would have to be installed with a four pound hammer. It would be my quess that unless great care was taken during assembly the assembler would would collaps the top and second ring land before the bolts and cap would be close enough to be tightened. Once tightened the broaching process of the crankshaft will be compleated.
Rusty the .525/.525 cam is the 427 one or two four barrel you know 410 and 425 hp. The "cheater cam", your words not mine, is .527/.527, it can check .525/ .525.
After some thought I believe the engine stand or the snout of the crank would break before all eight piston and rods were in place and torqued.
