Endurance Short Stroke BBC

I bought an Ilmor supercat spec engine. It came with a 4000 dollar crank and Carrillo rods with CARR bolts.
At that point, I built the engine around the block, crank and rods I had.
I worked woth CP on a set of pistons with the proper compression height as the supercat pistons had a good sized dome on them. (Something like 12.5:1 CR)
ilmor or had those cranks made in the oddball 3.920" size in part so they could run a larger bore and still make the 510CI spec. That's what I was told by someone familiar with the program back in the early 2000's when they were doing supercat stuff.

Now to find out if my cylinder heads will support the overall power output that I desire. I know they flow pretty good to .600" shouldn't have to lift much more than that. Current cams lift to .598" and .610". Who would be a good choice for doing a valve job on my merlin 3's and mild porting? Thanks for all the input guys, as always it is greatly appreciated!

"If" I go the solid roller route looking at crane stock grinds. Part #138781 246/254 on a 114 with .615"/.636" looks good. I like that for the duration it has it doesn't lift a ton so should be easy on valve train.

Scrapped this build after pricing oiling system and exhaust for TRS capable of 6500 rpm..Gonna stick with the imco's and stock style oil system and keep the revs below 5500.

Beginning to plan out my next engine build for the ol' Formula. Currently have 454's with 500efi cams. Wanting to build a 500+ cubic inch short block to use with my current 310 Merlin aluminum heads. 600hp goal with longevity and reliability in mind. SRP has a piston for 4.560" bore that I could use with new blocks and a 6.385" rod. That makes a 523cid. Does anyone have anything similar with a 310cc cylinder head? Toying around with the idea of a Solid roller cam as well.
