I'm setting out to build a 300 the same as the one on Powernation TV that produces 500 + HP at the flywheel.
Their core is from an industrial water sprayer which has the forged crankshaft ( according my understanding)
My core will be from a 1987 Ford F150 EFI.
My question: Will a cast crankshaft be able to handle 500 + HP or is a forged crankshaft a must? I will go with forged pistons from DSS Racing and forged connecting rods from Molnar Technologies.
I'm budgeting 10k for this build so I want this to be a solid engine.
