Crankshaft help Hi I'm from central Florida and new to the forum. So I've heard different stories from guys on crankshafts. I'm sure this has probably been brought up before and if so please direct me to that thread. So I have a 5.3 out of a 04 1500 that I'm putting in a s10 with a turbo. I've been told that a factory crank will hold every bit of what I'm looking for up to 12lbs under 600hp . Then I have guys telling me go with a forge bottom end because the factory won't hold. I'll have flat top pistons and h beam rods in the rotating assembly 317 heads Texas speed cam and valve train. I basically curious what the best way to go with my motor, it's just going to be used at on the street and track. Thank you
There's guys pushing 1000 hp at the wheels with unlocked converters with stock pistons, rods, and crank with 250,000 miles on the motor - including the main and rod bearings.
Don't start spewing money everywhere for no reason for 600 hp. Stock everything except a cam and valve springs and you'll be exactly where you are VERY safely.
