LT5 does use a forged crank correct? Obviously a differnt animal, but some conventional SBC's will snap the crank snout due to excessive loading.

That looks like a nice tight kit.

IIRC,the LT5 has a 4340 forged steel crank so it should be stout enough.

Over coctails at one of the Gatherings in BG, I remember Dave McLellan saying the crank should be good for 1000 or so HP - FWIW.

Its very well supported with it's block design. Cap walk would be very well controlled I would think.
