I had a 71 datsun I built with a 1969 351w block, a 6-71 blower running 10lbs boost, with stock crank and rods, I was running around 565 horsepower, shifting at 7K rpms. 10.71 @ 127mph in the quarter mile. I never had a problem with the bottom end. However most of the people I had spoke to said dont run more then 550hp on the stock parts. I was a little bit in the grey area, but never had a problem with it none the less. I ran it that way for about 6 years. If your under 500hp the stock rods are more then enough, just have them magnafluxed and stress relieved.
