How much horsepower can the stock 98 gt block handle, before things start to break and melt. I am putting in forged internals, and I am looking at running around 600hp eventually. I just need to know if I can do it with the stock block.
? is there another shortblock to start with? Just wondering cause it seems all the ones I see are stock blocks that have built bottom ends?git-it-83 said:600hp, supposedly

Me, I would go with something else if I were starting from the bottom up anyway.

But to original poster it appears they will support 600rwhp the real ? is how long will they support it.

the thing is the tranny gets suspect at 350hp

no problem using your block, if you put good internals like you describe , everything will be fine. stock internals, crank, rods in particular wil start having problems around 500 hp. the blocks are not the problem at all.That is a 5.0 thing, where you get around 500 hp and the internals are good but you make two 4 cyl out of it.lycan284 said:How much horsepower can the stock 98 gt block handle, before things start to break and melt.
