just like easton and his powerdyne, i can no longer praise a part i once believed it. i just blew my stock botom end. we dont think the block crank but the rotating assembly is done. the car drove me 7 miles in traffic and stop and go lights after the incedent so its not to bad. #4 and #8 are reading 85psi while one of the cylinders reads 130 and the rest are 155-170psi. probably going to keep this block, go 30 over, my friend wants to machine the block to make it a 4 bolt main, rebalance it and do every type of machine work possible. i want a dart 331 but dont want to spend the money so we will see whats up. wish me luck guys im so stressed right now cause thats my only car

FRPP has a new Boss 302 block. It looks good.

Man with those awesome numbers it was bound to happen sooner or later. Build it up stronger and better!

even maching the block to make it a 4 bolt main, wouldnt it still split down the lifter valley?

silver91gt

yes, the main cap area isnt thick enough for a 4 bolt to work.

Make sure you look all over that block. My buddy's car did something similar to that, he sent it out to get bored and had the crank stroked, only to find out after the block was being worked on it had a big *** crack in it. Right by the mains on the inside.

thats what i thought. my friend is looking for a mexican block or an svo block. not sure i want either. we thought about 351w but to much money right now for me. its still up in the air but the motor is supposed to get pulled tomorrow. i have to weld my friends rear suspension first, then we're gutting my car......so much sh*t to do. stock piston rings are[sm=lame.gif]

the worst part is that i was on the way home from chet herbert because we were designing a custom cam for my car
