BWAAHAHAHHAHAHA throws a rod at 4000 rpms!!! HAHAHAHHAH Sounds like a Chevy alright. You want a solution, BUY A FORD. I have a 351W that's got over 225k on it and I rappthe crap outta that thing well above 5000.

Throwing rods, flatting cams, breaking rockers, pulling rocker studs, leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez..... How can this engine be so popular??? An the the idiot engineers put the distributor in the back.... Ford only made that mistake once, in the Y block.
