ive also seen boosted stock 302's going north of 700hp, would i gamble that, **** no but doesnt mean that its not possible

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Yea how many? 5? Verus the 1000000000000 351's doing it. You rarely see a 351 break its usually something else giving up first. 302's have even split below 400 rwhp. I can go crank up the boost in my car and go for 700 hp, but it WILL break. If it was a 351 setup I would NOT be nervous at all. Get a clue.

I never said it was my choice to run the power that high,ive seen all engines break from one reason or another, if you wanna bitch at someone about running a stock block like that, try bitching to the person that did it, and a billion 351's huh, now thats the dumbest ****ing thing ive heard, doubt ford has even produced that many 351's much less having them built to go north of 700hp, if you are gonna try being a ****in dick make sure you dont look like an asshat first

...clearly I didnt put that number because thats ACTUALLY how many there is I am saying theres 1000 351's doing that to the 5 302's that broke after 5 passes. How the hell can you not catch on to that? 351w's ARE stronger, by a lot. PERIOD. THATS MY POINT. I am sure anyone that has a clue about anything would agree, how can you argue that??

He's not the one looking like an asshat in here...
Ok. How many 302s have you seen split? A LOT. Almost every Mustang fan has a story of how many blocks he or his buddy has gone through. Sure, there's a couple that are pushing it way past the limit and haven't broken yet, but their time will come. Now how many 351s have you actually seen split??? When they do come apart, like Bentley said, it's usually caused by something else coming apart. There are stock 351s being pushed to ridiculous levels now, and none of them seem to be breaking. Imo the key to success seems to be running 1/8 mile though. A lot of these 9 sec capable stock 302 cars, and 8 sec capable stock 351 cars are strictly 1/8 mile cars. There are '90s stock block/crank 351s going 140mph in the 1/8. That's moving.

I never claimed the 351 isnt stronger than the 302, simply stated what i have seen

THAT is where the problem is. Unless its just worded wrong it seems to me your telling the everyone its a gamble with a 351 at 700 hp which its not.
