Engine Threw A Rod

[Stang316]

I threw a rod in my Turbo 4.6 3v.
I found a block for sale for $1000 with apr studs and main studs. I was wondering if anyone here knows how much hp the block is good for. Thanks!

There's a lot of mixed opinions on modular block ratings, but I haven't seen one yet that's been rated less than 600hp. Keep the timing on the conservative side and make sure your fuel system is up to snuff and the block will take more than that.

That's probably all your internals are rated for anyway.

Is that Rwhp or the flywheel?

flywheel.....but again, don't use those numbers as gospel. It isn't necessarily horsepower so much that kills them, it's RPM, timing and fuel that usually sends them south. How much power do you plan on making?

Wanting to be around 500 rwhp

2005+ aluminum blocks are good for 800hp, any more then that they run the rick of splitting in the valley
