Anything too much over 600hp and you'll be pushin it. I was told that if I wanted to go over 700hp then I should go the Sportsman block route. Once I get the Stang running again I'll find out how much it can take.

I dont know. There is a cat around here with a 25lb blower and nitrous on his car with a 357 in it. The blue car with white stripes.

Seems to be having a problem keeping a crankshaft in it let alone worry about the block. I say 750hp on a well prepped block.

Hey F8l, you need to get the Pony going! Or sell it to me so I can...lol Seriously,I need to know how much power that block will take. Are you going to get it on the dyno once it runs? One more question, who built it? Thanks bro, Drew

Drew, I will definately be taking it to a dyno once it gets running, I have to start tuning it before I stick the 14lb pulley on it. I would love to sell it to ya but I would want at least $10k for it otherwise I feel it is a huge waste on my part for all the time and money spent on it.

I've gotta partner w/a Lightning (completely sock bottom-end) that has AFRs and a KenneBell s/charger and it's good for around 500 hp.

BTW, that mill's got around 150K on the odometer .
