    You don't need the steel crank, but they're nice. Nothing wrong with the rods either.
    Heavy stuff but strong. Good to 7000 or so with no problems. A good machine shop
    is required for sure. re size rods etc.deck height, line bore and all the good stuff.
    If you don't run a big roller stock rockers are fine. My last one had a 680 roller in
    it so it had 4130 shafts end stands roller rockers etc. If it's built properly it will
    run hard and hold up well.I have friends that can run 9's with the stock stroke.
    I wouldn't waste money to stroke it. What are you gonna do with it?
    A Ranchero is NOT an El Camino
