408 to a 1000 hp
408 to a 1000 hp What's a good engine assembly that’s safe for a 1000 HP max? Let me rephrase that what’s the best? I'll probably only be at 800 to 900 hp but to be on the safe side. And I want a pretty wicked cam. Oh I’m probably going with an F1a or an F1r procharger. I already have the meth kit and the fuel system to handle 1000 hp FI hp.

Are you talking rear wheel or engne.
I have seen think 370 iron with stock crank and forged pistons not sure which rods take up near that power level or mabye beyond. the 370 iron crank seems stout.
I am hoping my combo can take around the 800 to maybe 900 rwhp range. Callies crank, callies rods.wiseco pistons and iron block. I am hoping to get close to 800rwhp /850rwhp depending on if go auto or stick with my twin turbo setup. Small shots of spray will be added if needed to make up for any shortfall and to spool up even quicker when I want it to.
They used to have a boosted list and it was sticky no idea where it is.
But if you search for boosted list it comes up and you can look at peoples combos what they had for power, what they ran at the track and see what exactly they used .

yes it can make it all day long, assuming you use decent internals and the assembly is correct.

Verdad Gallardo It's going in my RCSB Truck. I have a Viper six speed out of an SRT10. with a four link setup and a dana 60 from strange coming soon. I was really looking for what the best rotating assembly would be. Like Eagle, Callies, Lunati. Which ones have the best bang for your buck. And Venom Ws6 this is a automotive site not spelling and grammar school.

Well there is no best. There are choices. Again for your power goals you can do a search for boosted list. It is still there. There are several years of it in the files here. Go there. Look at combos running the power range you are interested in and pick your parts.
6.0 iron blocks are plenty strong. 408 is good size to build.Walls might get thin if you go much bigger. You should be able to hit 800 rwhp or so and keep the boost reasonable with a decent size turbo or super. You shouln't have much trouble lifting heads if you stay under 20psi. And use the thicker deck heads and arp head studs. LSX block or super expensive heads are overkill for these power ranges. lunati pro mod are nice rods and pretty sure can take big power could match them to a lunati crank ,Pistons are not as critical plenty of decent ones to choose from.
Stock 6.0 iron block cranks take big power.
