Default Block strength of a late 90's roller block?

so i've done some searching and haven't really found the answer i was looking for. my 351 is out of a 97 econoline van, so it's a roller. my questions are....what years were these series of motors in vehicles. 95-98? also what were they in besides the van. secondly, what is the breaking point for these blocks given a fully built rotating assembly. i'd like to stroke it to a 408 and put down 550-600 to the wheels with a blower or a turbo again. i have read about the crank walking due to the 2 bolt caps. if that's the main failure, then does anyone make splayed caps for them to help cure the problem. i know there are many variences for this, but i'm sure someone here knows the answers. thanks a lot.

mike

I thought the F code roller blocks were 94-96. Anyway, a friend of mine ordered a longblock from Bennett and it has an F code roller block. He runs 8s with it. I also had one in my coupe. It made just over 600rwhp.
