Stock lightning blocks can not handle 1000 hp. At $8500 I would be looking for something that has an after market block. World Industries has some real nice long blocks in this price range with a Man-O-War block. Or fprdstrokers could build you a real nice long block at this price or lower.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
