The B/RB was designed in the late 50s and I don't think Chrysler expected them to be pushed as hard as they have been.
Stock production blocks have all kinds of defects and who knows how many hours are on a block when you use one for a build.
This topic has come up many times and I think it was Monte that said with a stock block it's a crap shoot.
I don't push my stuff as hard as other guys, nor do I make as much power. I've got 3 extra 440 cores and 1 400, if it wasn't for that I would probably go Gen3.
