My 2 cents: I've seen agriculture 427s without cross bolt mains. (Farm Combine motors) I have spun cammers at 9000 rpm with no problems. Dove manufacturing tells me they are spinning FEs at 9000 rpm with no problems. They are turning the crank journals down & running Chevy rods. If I recall correctly they said Chevy off the shelf "500" rods. I thought that was interesting.
Regards,
