Building a 370 with questions I am in the process of a 370 with a 6.0 iron block and plan on using the stock crank but the rods and pistons are still questionable whether to use them or not. Will they hold up to around 475RWHP? Also, what is the stock rod length of a 6.0 in case I have to/need to get new rods? Also, what pistons do you guys suggest to get around 10/10.5:1 with 64 cc heads (Either L92 shaved or ported 317's)?? I'm thinking Mahle because of the coating on them and have heard nothing but good about them. Just not sure what dish I need to get to achieve that CR. Any suggestion for a cam would be appreciated also. Anybody got any ideas for me? Thanks, Jess

Nobody can answer any of these questions for me? I know there are some people who have built these and I am just looking for some experience on this engine.

cam would depend on what the rest of your combo is and for which purpose.
