250 crank, more stroke, bigger engine = more power.
Stock rods, 194,230,250 engines.
Aftermarket rods, Crower & others. 6" rod would be preferred over a 5.7".
If you get a good harmonic damper you can even spin a 292 pretty high along w/better rods.
I normally would turn my 250 engine to 6500 & have gone to 7500 w/out any problems. I use a standard 300 HP 8" 350 SBC damper.But I would recommend something better than what I use.
I am going to use a Fisher damper next.
