Quote: The point I was trying to get at is a $3500 after market block, a $2000 Callies crank, $1200 Aluminum rods, $4000+ heads, isn't required for 650 hp. Sure, you can dump $15K+++ in the project if you want, but it really isn't needed.
That is definetly true. But I dont think I would want to push a stock block much more the 650 hp. I would say my 493 is pushing about 600 to 610 hp and so far no problems at all with my stock block. Ron
