Anybody running of their long blocks or short blocks? I was looking at there pro bullet block all forged and it has different add ons depending on your application. How well do these blocks hold up? Will I be okay running their 306 pro bullet with some h/c/I and a s trim.

heard good and bad thing...


currently there is a big thread on Corral.net about a guy who just bought a brand new DSS; started it up and it ran for a just few minutes, then locked up....

right now, DSS is to warrantying the engine, they re blaming the machine shop

That's scary budget is tight for projects and if I spend 2k and above on a block I want it to be problem free. Hmmm

Go local = peace of mind. There is nothing worse then mail ordering a motor..installing it...putting all the aftermarket pieces on(ie turbo or something) and then realizing that the motor is junk (was not put together correctly).

Guess what...you now have to send the hulk of metal back and fight for a warranty claim (from a distance).

boss blocks are not expensive because they are strong, want a strong block get a world block.

well ...... do you guys think a stock rebuilt block (306) will be fine with afr 185 a decent cam that will pass smog and s trim with about 10-12 lbs of boost. Be fine ?

Engines last as long as how well its built and driven. Thatd be a good 4-500 horse motor and real street pounder and if built right and not abused last a long while. If your really concerned about blowing it up try horsepowersales.com's small block ford lifter valley girdles. Theyre like $250 and theyve ran 1000 hp on a STOCK block reliably! Well worth it i run one on my 349 no blower but 12.5:1 compression and a 300 shot fogger so far so good. Heres the link http://www.jegs.com/vs/Horsepower+Sales/485
