one of the best blocks out there IMO. thats what i am going with except in 351 form

A little crazy to spend the additional $500.00 bucks on a block that you don't need. I have supported 750hp on a FR 4blt main Windsor. I guess if you feel like you need to buy a Dart or Man-O-War that is fine, but it is a bit rediculous for the kind of numbers most people will actually make on a street driven car.

yes i agree if you dont need it dont buy it buy dont cry when you spend 1800$ on a block and put a lil boost to it,, get addicted and want more and then split it in half,,

MadMan@TheWheel

I agree. But I have never in 18 years of racing so far, seen anyone split a Motorsports 4blt main block. Not saying it is impossible, but not likely. People normally overkill to say they did not because it was needed or prudent. But to each his own, perhaps research into what compnents are actually capable of should come before brand name. Me, I don't see somebody reaching the 750hp mark and deciding they want a whole lot more, there are some but rare. There are few on here that I have chatted with that have ever sunk into the nines. I have and never split a block, I have actually broken cranks with nothing more that bearing damage. So tomato tamato. Meh who cares.

yep, i agree not many ppl here will ever see 750, and not a lot of them see the 9s, i myself am lookin for high 9s with my turbo 347 im pretty confident i can get there, just have to do a lil more work to the suspension,

MadMan@TheWheel

Cool, good to see more turbo people, they have been elusive at best, almost like rocket science. I see a lot of people stray away from turbos, myself included but DAYUM do they lay down some numbers. You could possibly hit well into 600+rwhp...yes?

ruger311

with my 347 and 12#s with the HP 76mm should hit somewhere round 725-750RWHP

MadMan@TheWheel

That's what the fu(k I'm talking about! I am heading for that myself this time around also, but with blower. 408ci as usual forged lower, 225 full cnc heads, sheet metal intake, blower that take a Maytag intercooler (LOL) and a shot of scotch before each pass.

ruger311

+1 on the scotch,, ill take two,, haha, why i want a turbo is on the street run a modest 8-10#s put down 550 or so on the track 12-15#s and 700+

MadMan@TheWheel

Hey like I stated earlier...they are great...period. BUt just really gaining the notariety they deserve, and really just gaining a street mentality so far as people that are actually working on them. There was a time when people wouldn't touch a Fox with turbo's except in rare cases. So my props to you, I cannot wait to see some pics of you blowing up staging with that thang
