351w shortblock from CHP
What do you think about CHP's street fighter-pro street shortblocks? http://www.coasthigh.com/Assemblies/Ford/ford_408w.htm
Does anybody know what kind of blocks are used or how much power they can handle? That's what I really need to know.
My plan is to go TT so I want something that can at least handle a bit of boost, and Dart blocks are looking too expensive.
I was told I should get an SVO Sportsman block A351 and that it could handle 1200rwhp, but I've been looking and can't even find them.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

RE: 351w shortblock from CHP
They just said "Ford 351 windsor block" and that's as much as he would specify, so I'm assuming it's a production block.
Man I'm almost tempted to just get the one with the Dart sportsman block instead and just cough up the 1500 for it.
I was told a Dart Sportsman block could handle 2000hp is that true?
What about World Products' Man o'War blocks? How much can they handle?

RE: 351w shortblock from CHP
Do you plan on building an engine with 2000 hp? If you look around you should be able to find a 351 block in good cond. for a couple hundred bucks. Take it to a machine shop and you will basically have a new block.
