Quote: I really can't believe all of you have never built a decent motor making around 600 hp. And you think that a tall fill, aluminum caps, main girdle, and the likes is required to make another 150-200? Gimme some of that stuff you're smoking!
Fire it up and pass it this way, if you think "another 150-200hp" doesnt add stress to a stock block thats already at 600hp. Your 493 cube'd Template ported 906's that have shift point at 5700 rpms, is pretty diff from a B1 engine. You guys do what you want, but seems about once a week or so someone is posting up blocks that has gave up the ghost..
were not talking about 493 inch enignes that has home ported Edelbrock RPM heads here. Were talking about a stroker engine with B1's that doesnt seem to respond well to 6500 rpm shift points. If turning a stock block 7400-7800 rpms doesnt seem to bother you, then go right ahead. I have built and run engine at this caliber. And the large head B1 heads like RPM.
