[QUOTE="Fourcam330, post: 3562379, member: 24445"] It was built by Ford :) I'm not sure there's a "weak link" per say as long as the factory rev limit is honored. At 1000rwhp+ nothing lasts forever, or even close really. When building for that kind of power only premium parts, like billet rods (7/16" rod bolts) and aftermarket slugs (CPs, etc.) should be used. ARP longblock hardware would also be a great idea. Upgrading to higher quality bearings like FM and SS rings would also help matters. I'm not saying the motor's going to blow immediately, but it's running on borrowed time at that power level. You'd be solely power adder limited. John M. makes 2000HP (flywheel) with twin 72s on a 4.6. Of course there comes a point when extra power is pointless, merely helping to put the motor to an earlier death, as it's not going to hook with that much hp/tq anyway. Basically the sky and your wallet are the only limiting factors. [/QUOTE]
