Why not? Because I'm frightened to hit the small block with that much hose! I have a Big shot plate on it now, and it went 10.18, sawing through the 904 or convertor (likely both) shift light was on from the hit until I let off the n20 at 1100 ft. It's a 4 bolt main X block.
I split two cylinders in my 440 block on spray, sleeved it, and sprayed it some more, it had a high fill of block hardener in it.
The thing is...that 440 was a 2K$ short block, so I was more inclined to lean on it than this small block, which was considerably more!!
I know it was not many years ago we ALL took a chance
on the blocks we ran... I never tested a block 5 years
ago or farther back.. I can say I believe most of
us got lucky if we started pushing a block...now days
I have had decent luck on blocks.. I've cracked 3
cyl walls in 2 blocks.. 2 on the same cyl that was
sleeved.. to me it was a bad sleeve job... years ago
I was a BB guy and I broke more stuff when I ran BB
but like most I tried to push things(for back then)
but the same as I do for the SB stuff
