of course you know this would require a different harmonic balancer and flywheel right?

Sounds like a sweet engine build coming up here.

I think the truck rods were beefier in the big end. I think they only used 3/8 bolts also. I don't recall reading anything about the rods on any engine being nitrate treated or tufftriding.
