The block itself is plenty strong, can handle probably anything your budget can throw at it.
However your rotating assembly is no good past 450RWHP & even that is pushing it to it's limits.

way off, this is the dohc block not he sohc, this block can hold upwards of 1500 hp stock, u def dont have the money to do that, so why would u ditch it, pro drag racers use this block.

You'll end up with a better engine in the long run and I don't see it cost any more money to stick with it. Unless you have some guy that wants to give you big money for the block I'd use it.
