I know there are some very fast and experienced racers on this board.

What are some of the top things that I can do to a 76' small block 360 to make it more durable without breaking the bank.

Because the bank is already broke with the purchase of below parts:
new heads ($2200)
New 78mm turbo and parts ($840)
New sniper EFI ($1250)
Machining and balance ($??)

I've acquired parts to make more HP than I think the stock block may be able to handle.
Not sure, never been there or done that. Yet.
Goal is 700 or more blown/turboed.
Both if need be. smile

I do have diamond forged pistons 1/16,1/16 rings
Main studs
Eagle SIR I beam rods (says good to 500hp??)
I will NOT be spinning this thing above 6000 rpms

Someone mentioned a short fill.
Someone else said I need a forged crank.
What about a main girdle?

For those of you who have done it not just hypothesized about it.
What's the STRAIGHT scoop?
