The thing that you need to be worried about is the rod journal diameter. The best way to go would be a 2.200 stroke and use the Truck steel crankshaft that has been lightened. I would go with a Crower or Oliver lightweight rod. The longer rod like a 6.700 or 6.800 would also let you get a lighter piston done with a BBC pin size which would give you some good choices on a light weight wrist pin. You will also need a good rocker arm system like the T&D or you will probably have valve train problems at that rpm. Think about the complete build as a package and make all of the parts work together to achieve the power and rpm you want. Good luck, Keith Craft
