14-71 roots blower, GRP aluminum rods, Stage V custom heads 7000rpm max. Think it will hold together? I would probably need max hp at 1300. Car is built for 8.5 so......... and no desire to go faster.

I built a blown Methanol 1700 HP HEMI with a World aluminum water block and it failed. There are some weak points that probably limit the max HP to about 1300.

Car will be around 3200-3300lbs plus my 230lbs which shows 1300hp. Have not had a chance to weigh it yet.

If you want to run 8.50 the car better be certified to 7.50 which adds MORE weight to the car if it isn't already up to spec. Gotta be able to cover the 8.50 in Summer heat so it better run at least 8.30's.

Any connections for aftermarket blocks in Canada? Your in Ontario if I remember correctly?
Do you have a block already or you still on the hunt?

I am in BC. FHO just finished machining my block and getting the pistons in so parts can be shipped to me. I had a new mega block and I got talked into an aluminum block so I sold it to Tim and then poof no more KB blocks. Piss me off cause after two yrs I decided to sell my Stage V big valve heads done by FHO and the RB/T&D roller rocker assembly (sold in 4hrs). I bought the new World block from Dave Duedeck and just need to get the intake, heads, rocker set and crank.(waiting game)

I’d like to get a low deck block to transplant all my stuff into, but that is going to be a tough task.
Do I dare say Big M here LOL.

Yeah. When a guy runs a motor plate and coil over front suspension in a B body it leaves lots of room for the alternative. Believe me it is had to think that way but when you look at cost and availability it does start to look appealing.

I damn near bought a big M block to build a 632. $3200 here at Mopac. I have an Alterkation front end so what's in the middle doesn't really mean sh!t to me as long as the car goes forward and back. Doing a hemi just shows how stupid I am, doing a blown hemi.......well that is just stroking the ego and because I can.LOL eek

Yeah our dollar has jumped a bit, but the cross border sting is still there. Mopac knows me by name in Edmonton LOL. My wife cringes when a package shows up from there or Summit.
For what I put into my stock block stroker I could of built one heck of a Big M. And had $ left over for the TH400 with a great converter.

Before. It was just at the time when a lot of guys put down their cash and were starting to wonder where the hell their blocks are.

What failed och what are the weak points in your opinion?

In an earlier thread you posted (Dec 17 2015) that you had no problems with 1600 HP (fuel type not mentioned). Has there been any significant changes to the design when Bill Mitchell started selling the block (instead of the Grainger & Worrall cast World blocks)?
