His son made me do it..... To be honest, the standard stroke 351W that was in my RMC (Frank's car that Cragar built the motor for), was fantastic. It ran high 11 / low 12 sec 1/4 mile times @ 119mph. That was a standard crank, standard rods 351W. It revved to 7000+rpm. It sounded FANTASTIC, and it pulled cleanly to those rpm, but I figured that if I maintained a 6K redline, it'd live for ever.

Well, it did until the roller fell off the lifter and destroyed the block, cam, lifters, pushrods etc.....
