Stock block stoutness?

[Grimgrak]

Havn't seen many people run over 450hp on the stock long block are they stout enough to handle it or are the pistons the weak link?

Pistons, rods, mains, heads... they'd be suspect for bad things to me.

Dont think the stock heads will flow enough to make more than that .

Even stock you need rods and pistons.:rotf:

The words stout & our short block don't go together :rotf:

Yes people have gotten them to hold up to 450hp even close to 500hp, but you need to keep the RPM's down (like stock) and make sure your tune is dead on.
