Not all the 230 block castings are the thick main web cold weather variety,
I always sonic test any stock block before starting to build one, I learned that lesson the hard way on my first pump gas 400 block 451 C.I. combination motor for a customer, it split a cylinder wall on the dyno after several pulls
I've seen some pretty scary 400 blocks on the cylinder wall thicknesses
On the turbo deal I would go right to a set of CNC B1 originals or maybe a set of CNC ported 440-1, skip the small stuff to start with
My current bracket motor is a cold weather 230 casting (Thanks AndyF
