So last year I bought a used/Freshened 446 for a pretty good price of 4500 bucks. My 66 Satellite is coming back from paint in the next couple of weeks so I thought I would start getting the drive train in order. I decided to pull a head and oil pan to inspect things and see what was actually in there. At one point someone installed billet main caps on a factory steel crank w/64 max wedge rods (1.094 ends) along with Wiseco 11.25:1 pistons.
My questions should I be installing a girdle before reassembling? Not really sure how much power this motor will make but I assume it will be over 600hp.. This will also require changing the already installed ARP Fasteners for the main caps. Is it worth the headache?
