We build stock stroke Windsors that dyno out at 480 HP. We use ARP studs on the mains. We also build a 418 stroker Windsor that develops 550 to 580 HP ( depending on cam chioce) . On the stroker we have been using a main cap girdle. As far as the stock stroke Windsor crankshafts, the Scat cast- steel works great for us with no problems. I would go with the the H- beam rods and forged pistons. Hope this helps.
