Is the stock 460 rotating assembly really strong enough to take the spray?

I honestly don't know anything about ford big blocks, the only one I had any experience wasn't running and I made into a coffee table.

Its a crappy Pic but I just welded the rods and pistons right over the coolant jackets. I also had not grind a notch in the pistons so they would lay flat an the glass would stay.

Also the oil pan bolts on the bottom are the perfect size to accept screw in wheels from ACE hardware.

This was a 352 Big Block.
