—-That is the great thing about a HEMI. 4 Bolt Mains. My HEMI has a Moldex Crank, Bill Mitchell (BME) Forged Aluminum Funny Car Rods, Landy Investment Grade Rocker Arms, Titanium Valves and the Best Manley Valve springs you can buy....I spin it close to 8000 RPM (with a 4.5x 4.5 572) and don't worry about a thing.
thanks for all the info; billet aluminum caps and studs with girdle is what will happen, all for 63 polara.

Soon to be mine!
no time to skimp now, the expense overall in the big picture is really not that much and good insurance, i just did all that except i went steel main caps with studs, and waiting to install 1/4" girdle. scat crank and rods/2000 bolts, no place to skimp either on the rod bolts. had it all professionally assembled at s&s machine, hayward. money well spent. your heads and cam will determine how much xtra "strenght" u will need down below.am building my first stroker big block using 400 block with 415 crank. am wondering if worth effort to in stall aluminum caps and studs.
