best place to buy a stock 5.0 block? Or is it worth the money to go to the sportsman? Either way, anyone got any used ones, or where is the best retail place to buy one from?

try www.holcombmotorsports.com or www.summitracing.com or www.jegs.com and compare these three before you try anywhere else. stock block is fine unless you plan on going nuts with a big blower or lots of nitrous.

if you want the best block go with a DART 302. Its strong enough to be stroked up to a 460!![sm=smiley16.gif] but a crap load of money. But if you got the money go with that and stroke it to a 460.
