I'm building a short stroke 270 engine and am wondering what others have found a PROPERLY built engine will reliably wind to.
The stroke is still very long but with properly prepped rods: polished then peened and balanced with ARP fasteners and the counterweights weighted to go with the piston weights etc.?
Have others found it necessary to fab steel main caps?
I only wound the standard stroke 270 I built without the special treatments to 5000 and it held together so I expect lots more as stated.
This is for a track roadster I dug out of a backyard here in California.
