Need some 302 internal advice Hey guys,
I'm building a Turbo'd 302 for my cutlass sleeper and i need some advice on what rods to go with. I've already decided on SRP ID but am clueless on the rods. I was considering manley alum but was told there not good for street use and i would have to tear down the engine all the time. What do you guys think? What would you use?
RPM limit is going to be 7500-8000rpm and i'm shooting for around 700hp with a T66. Heads are going to be ported Victor Jr's.

Steel rods, done once and forgotten. There are too many good ones to list for something with only 700 HP. Get something rated at 1000 HP and u have room to grow.
Good luck.
