RE: Strongest 351W Block
I always have and am currently building on an aftermarket 4blt main block. However, I personally know someone who is running the fastest N/A TFS "R" headed car in the country on a 1970 block. Est 750rwhp on the spray. So it can be done, but it is still only a matter of time. You can still have a lot of potential for main cap movement even with a girdle, basically even with stronger webbing, if your caps walk or even one walks and you move a main bearing your going to have issues. Just my feelings on the subject after about 15 Windsor builds.

Who is this person you talk of with the 1970s block making 750rwhp?You also state that it was on the hose what is it on motor?I run a 1994 roller block with a inline valve headand make 621rwhp N/A and have over 250 passes on it this year alone.I would like to talk to him because its seems we are making about the same power with a early cast block and with a newer cast block.MadMan you seam pretty smart on the subject andI would like to talk to you also, Ive been building windsors since I put the fisrt one in my 1982 GT back in1989.Talk about a head ache there were no conversions for those cars at all 18yrs ago compared to now a days.
Thanks Matt Paul
