Agree the only true solution is an aftermarket block. That is another can of worms for sure. Best bandaid IMO is aluminum caps, aluminum rods, and keep the bobweight as low as possible. Low deck in generally considered stronger than a tall deck deal and will be a lighter bobweight. Detonation will certainly speed up the demise of either one for sure. So your choice. Spend the money on a stock block and cross your fingers or pony up for an aluminum block as that is all that's out there except for those of us hoarding steel ones smile
