Eleanor,

When I built my motor It was a different situation, I had 3, 351 short blocks sitting around, so I did cheap bottom rebuild, slapped on some nice heads, and 6-71 dyers blower, so if the bottom end crapped out, I really wasnt out much money. To be honest ,with as hard as I ran it, Im a little suprised it kept together at 565hp.

I wouldnt chance pushing 600hp. Sounds to me like your building a nice motor, and investing a few bucks in some nice parts, I would buy a good aftermarket crank. Then you can always build for more power later.
