Whats your thoughts on the two??? Quality-Strenth- weekness...have a world block here now (AJ's Bonefish) and I have Indy stuff... I been knocking Indy
.. but after looking at this one and whats happing at KB..think I will stick with Indy
Don't get me wrong its MY OPINION and you know what that gets me in here.. The world block looks nice but the Indy looks stronger to me..Wes put some pic's up of the Indy Block you just got..


one more Thing Mike at... Chenoweth... Very nice.. Finish Hone work bore to skirt is dead on.. need to call you to find out more what was done to this thing

look at the oil pan gasket form my Indy to the world block.

Well, all else being equal as far as strength and rigidity, if the oil pan rails becomes the limiting factor as far as stroke, I would stay with the Indy block, if you are planning big cubes.

Now that I see your 3rd pic, doesn't the Indy block have higher webbing in the cam valley?

Here is a few pics. I give the strength to the Indy block, I have had no issues with it.

I think first thing is to compare the world race block to the indy block. Although it doesn't change much in the strength factor it has some better options like bushed lifter bores and dual bell housing bolt patterns. Indy has a larger skirt and the fifth main is cross bolted.
Some peoples opinion may be the indy block is stronger but unless you were in the design room it's only speculation. Looks can be deceiving. Something like the quality of the block material can throw that theory out the window
Most will never run either block close to their limits

There are allways going to be people who make negative speculations.I'am going to go on record to say that Indy provides a quality block.How do I know?My comment is based on facts.What facts?I use Indy blocks in our own race cars and provide them for my customers race cars as well as to other engine builders and racers.We have never had any problems with any that we provide.There are quite a few here on mopars that have Indy blocks provided by us and have been quite satisfied.No speculation here just facts.
