451 Stroker Build

moper said

I love the sound of a big V8 over 6500. And in some scenarios RPM is good. My buddy races a Ford 460 and traps at 8400rpm. It sounds more like an electric motor than an engine at the stripe.
I have no idea what the 451 has for a top end, but IQs power curve has a lot to do with the head choice (big volume for the displacement) and potentially a much better cam. And the valve train wasn't eating itself.

Well Pro Stocks are limited to what....500 kyoobs? .....and we all know they rev to the moon.

I guess it all depends on what the intended design is. It's just in my mind that I would want one to make the most down lower so there wouldn't be a chance for breakage.

I reckon it's a good thing that it happened and didn't break and further. At least you know somethin's wrong now rather than when stuff is stickin through the sides of the block.
