Re: Stock Blocks

Well, I'm going to go and quess around 800hp. :dunno:

I mean when you see some stock block trucks hitting 10's. Thats alota HP and TQ from our trucks with AWD. I could be wrong though.

Re: Stock Blocks

its impossible to estimate. especially since some trucks break w/ only 15k miles on them, and some have 150k on them and are still running. everyone has had different luck w/ them...so i'd venture to say that the stock block isn't even "GOOD" for the stock rated 285hp.

stock rods aren't the block can handle it.

Re: Stock Blocks

Well what I meant was the actual capacity of the block it self....Does not really matter i will probably go with a bowtie anyway....

Re: Stock Blocks

You never really hear of stock blocks failing so much as stock cranks breaking....of course if you break a crank or fry a piston or throw a rod, it could definitely take the block with it....I think it's safe to say a well prepped, 4bolt, stock block with the rest of the goodies should be ok to mid to high 10's (properly tuned and no knock)....who knows for how long though....billet crank would be an added plus....jmo

Re: Stock Blocks

fwiw, the only block I've ever read about failing here was that heavily disputed "bowtie" block from a few years ago that had stress cracks around the mains....there may be more, but I didn't hear about them....

Re: Stock Blocks

are we talking bout running a block with filler in it or just a normal block?

Re: Stock Blocks

:stupid: I beleive Ed's was a filled block...I talked a biulder a bout a motor not to long ago and was told a stock filled block should support about 600 hp/tq, unless my details were off....
