Default RE: block strength

except for poor water passage design the 94-95 block is strong.

if i was planning on alot of boost or nitrous i would get a 97+ block

01+ blocks have reall beefy main webbing and are probably the strongest. 4.2L girdled truck blocks are quite strong too

Matt Neuharth is running 600rwhp on a production singleport block and IMO the block is good for 1000rwhp but would benefit from braces acrossed the lifter valley to prevent the chance of block splitting
