Engine Blocks

[DRock9]

I know the limits of the stock block is anywhere from 450-500whp, I am trying to plan for the future but I don't really want to put down the dough for a DART block which can handle 1000+whp.

Is there any kind of middle block which can handle 600-800whp?

dart is the way to go, but I realize they are not cheap. I have seen the 69-72ish 351 blocks handle 600-700. Not sure how safe that would be. I would save up a little more and buy a dart if your looking for 800hp

I'm looking at that new Ford racing Boss block for my 84 ttop project, all the info is at their website.

The FRPP Boss block sounds like its strong, and I think its a little cheaper than a Dart too.

Yeah that block looks really good, I am not looking for something that can hold like 1000whp...around 600-700 would be awesome which I am sure the BOSS can do.

I am in the same position, I am going to hold out till I have the dough. Even if I am not going to make 1000 I like to know I have some extra strength. I don't want to push any block where its right on the hp limit. My set will be turbo and right at 600hp, so I want to have a good block so if I ever feel like pooring the coals to it and running more boost I can. They say build it right or build it twice.
