Found this in the FRPP catalog, sounds promising and exactly waht I would need.....depending on the price. Heres the specs.

I wonder what kind of power it will be able to withstand. And I wonder how much $$ it will be, compared to the others out there.

Sounds very interesting if it's priced right..

seems like a Sportsman block.

seems like a Sportsman block.

Actually, it sounds alot different. The 302 sprtsman was just a 2 bolt block with some thicker bulkheads. This sounds more like an A4 or R302, with the Siamese bore, 4-bolt mains, 4.125 bore capacity, and so on.
I would guess this would support an easy 800+ hp, where the 302 sportsman was only good to 450 (not much better than a stock block...)
I bet it's still gonna be 1500.00, though....
AND, it'll need machine work to be usable....

Rumors have it flying around the $1000-$1200 range. Should hold 1000hp all day with those details.

Yeah from what I have heard, its gonna be ~$1000, hold ~1000 hp and REQUIRE NO MACHINE WORK.
