Titanium connecting rods for sbm 416
I am looking to have it rev up like the 340. Crower had rods for $4666.00 depending how much titanium is the day of purchase. I only want to spin up to 6500
As most have said.........you're wasting your money........you are not pushing any power limits, nor are you pushing any rpm limits..........6500 rpm is not really a problem with a 4 inch crank......as an example Sonny Leonard of Sonny's Automotive Racing builds 1005 cube inch mountain motors with 5.875 inch strokes that spin 8000 rpm and he uses a steel rod.
Spend your money on lighter pistons, THAT can and will make ALOT of difference, alot cheaper.
Better heads....X's are cool (kinda) SELL THEM to some one who desperately feels THEY need them, you will have trouble making your power level with them at your stated displacement level.........back in "the day" it took alot of work to make 500hp with X heads in a 340......hp requires air flow, cubic inches requires even more.
To "rev up like a 340" is gonna be influenced ALOT by cam shaft, and cylinder head flow (here we are again)
Some of what you proposed seems to be based on it's WOW factor and not really thought out well.....WOW factor based on "stroker crank, titanium rods, X heads" bla, bla, bla doesn't do much..........WOW factor based on a well selected combination of parts that delivers the goods at a reasonable cost is far and away MUCH better. Goin' fast on a low budget is MUCH more WOW.
