I was wondering the other day what would be the limits/weak points of my build. The car is in my profile, but here's a bit more specific info on the engine itself:
Revised 7 bolt 2.4l bottom end (From a 2000 or so Galant)
ARP main studs, dowel kit, IJ 3 piece crank scraper
7 bolt 1g Head with Crower springs and retainers, 3g lifters, stock valves.
Wiseco pistons, Eagle H beam rods
Clevite street bearings
Now this is a full interior street build, so everything I do is keeping with driveability in mind. My main question is what I would want to keep in mind not to break something, or if there's something I should look at replacing at a certain power level. I was looking to upgrade to an FP Green next year and aim for around 500hp. I had a friend with a 2.4 wideblock crack a cylinder at 520. Another concern of mine is since my crank is from an NA car. I dont know if they're significantly weaker, and if so, what do I replace it with? I know with 6 bolt 2.4s the truck cranks are forged, so thats usually what people go with. But for my engine, i'm unsure.
