    So i started looking for some info on rotating assemblies after i found a supercharged F430 on youtube. I can't seem to find what the internals are made from. Are they forged steel, titanium, or billet? Revving to 8500rpm+ is very taxing on any engine, so if anyone has any insight on the rotating assembly build I would really really appreciate the info!!

    The internal parts, rotating, reciprocating or static are large in number and are made from a variety of differing alloys and materials and manufacturing techniques depending on what the part is and what function it performs.
    You need to be more specific.

    What is the rotating assembly made from? That normally includes crank, rods, and pistons.
    I know the block and heads are aluminum.

    The connecting rods and pistons do not rotate they move in an up and down motion that makes them reciprocating mass.

    Pistons are aluminum like every other car on earth.

    Rods were titanium on the 360. Not sure if those are still in use. They certainly don't need to be, steel would be just as good but they need to do something to justify where all the money goes.

    Crank is steel


    P.S. Guess I was wrong. Just based on the price it looks like they got smart and went back to steel rods on 430.
