I want to upgrade to 327 with AFR 185 heads 10.1 comp. Victer jr. intake, looking for around 400+ hp. Will my stock block hold out< or should I wait for a Dart sportsman Block. I would really like to keep my block. Ideas Please
It depends on your block and luck, I've seen stock 302 blocks hold 600rwhp but the question is for how long. I would rather have a dependable block than push an old tired block. So how many miles are on your block and what condition is it in? There are alot of factors involved. Good luck
I was at 375rwhp with a stock block and forged pistons w/100 shot of gas..I just bought a blower, so when its installed i'll let you know what the hp is
I agree, the problem is all the money you spend on the machine work will be lost if the stock block cracks. I agree save up and buy a good block. The sportsman block is always an option.

A friend of mine put up these numbers with a BIG SHOT nos kit , lasted bout 15 runs , and blew the four middle pistons threw the oil pan and snapped all four of the stock rods in the middle cylinders
