Well are you talking about a stock block as in 302? Or 351? I know the F1R is rated at over 1k horsepower. I would like to aim for that but of course be MORE than happy with at least around 800 or so. I'm not gonna be spraying it of course. And to squeeze every bit of horsepower out of the s/c would be hard to do I'm sure....to get right at it's peak power. So anything even close to that would make me more than happy.

I have the block, and was ready to get the internals for the block. Have the motor on the stand right now. Might be lookin for another block though I suppose. [:@]I know the 302 supports close to 500. If the 351w doesn't support that much more, I don't see the reason for people going thru all the trouble to upgrade to this block. I need to find some time to look and see which block I have for the 351w.

I'm not sure what year. I'll take a look and see. Thanks for the link though. Still need info on the tranny's though in the meantime. Thanks.

RE: Best tranny?
When asked "how much hp can a 351 block handle? The general concensus is around 700 hp, but it needs to machined and balanced perfectly. I would feel ok with about 600-650 hp but you were talking around 800 with conservative tune. I am not sure what the engines intended use would be but thing 600-650 hp will provide plenty of power unless your running in a 7 or 8 sec bracket competition.

RE: Best tranny?
Thanks for the input. I'll start by looking at the block and see what it is that I have and then guess go from there. May get a smaller s/c if need be. Don't mind spending money on the s/c and internals etc. but $2k for a Dart or something is more than I care to spend on "just" the block. I wasn't aware of the problem with weak blocks when I bought the car. My last cars blockwas strong enough for that kind of power so didn't even give it a though when switching over to a Stang. Oh well. Appreciate the feedback though.Wanna build it once and get it right the 1st time.

Damn i didn't think 700 horse on a stock block was weak. What kind of car and block was your last one that you are reffering to?
