I have a block that's betwen .133" & .153" on the minor thrust on #8 cycl. .157" on #2 minor thrust. .169" On #1 major thrust. Rest of block is .188" to .259" If you plan on making more than around 600 horse and its a dedicated race engine, id fill that block. You'll make more power too! MB My 1972 400 block 512 C.I. stroker has four ductile iron sleeves and no fill, 6 yrs beating on it street and strip It tested like yours I would use yours with no fill in a hot second It made 612 HP to start with on CA pump gas with ported big valve 906 iron heads Now it is 518 C.I. making 725 HP now on Oregon pump gas, still no fill I did buy and have the Mopar ductile iron main caps and ARP main studs installed to start with, I wish they where stil availble Last edited by Cab_Burge; 09/19/12 03:23 PM.
