factory forged 340 crank how strong

[rgreule]

is a factory 340 forged crank strong enough for 1000 whp? turbo application

 

[K.O. SWINGER]

NO and running any part at is limit is not a good way to build a motor...I say overkill and it will hold up!!

1,000 HP ?

Get a stroker BBM

 

[rgreule]

stroker bbm is not the answer.. small block turbo power is awesome and fun..

You don't want to use factory anything for that build.

My factory forged 340 crank has held up good at close to 700 supercharged hp but 1000? I would go Callie's. better be prepared to spend about 1400 bucks or so.

just bought a windberg billet crank instead.. should do the trick..

 

[dodge freak]

Good luck on the block holding up

 

[CUDACOX]

I would say a factory pre-71 crank is good for about 7000 max RPM.

 

[rgreule]

i have a r block.. it will hold up fine..

lol.. thats waaaayyyyy to expensive for a factory crank.. k1 or bpe has forged cranks for i believe 699.. that are 4340 rather than the old forging they used to have 40 years ago..

 

[dodge freak]

Well said - so why ask if a stock one can do it?...lol
Turbos are not as hard as blowers are on cranks, but it's still going to twist. Get a good aftermarket one and don't look back.

 

[rgreule]

i just figured id ask.. just wondering how one would hold up..
