I dont think they are that strong....i believe they are just slightly stronger than the stock 302 block and weaker than the sportsman block

Wasn't there an article awhile back in 5.0 or MM&FF comparing the different styles/years of the 302's? I believe it said it was just a myth about how much the Mexican block was "stronger" then the regular production 5.0s.

The myth was about the mexican block having higher amounts of nickel in it, which it doesnt.
