Does anybody know if a crate engine 347 short block can handle 500rwhp without cracking the block.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

yeah it should for a while if its tuned right. A stock shortblock can handle that.

How about a crate 351w, I need a crate block that can handle performance h/c/i and supercharger and nos. Any imput, advice, Ideas.

if money isnt an object, get a dart block. it will hold up to more than a 351 block will and you wont have to deal with the special parts that a 351 swap will entail.

The Ford Racing crate 347 has 475HP. 500 is considered the max that a stock block can handle! And even that is pushing the envelope! A dart block is good insurance!

Yep, if your going to be spraying on top of a H/C/I combo with a blower. You should def invest in a dart block... No need putting all the money into a motor thats going to be on borrowed time.. Its not a quesiton of if it will come apart.. its when..

i was just wondering if it could be a direct replacement block, and if i could still use like trick flow, afr, etc. heads with said block. .. i was kinda reading on it and it looks like i can.
