Wish I'd known you wanted one. Would have sent you one of my two, for free.

Its because its what he had. Its not like he is looking to break records. Just wants a reliable beast for as little as possible right now. Then, while he is enjoying it, can build a race mill

Re: Changes for 2012
I understand that. I've just seen a few of those blocks crack where the mains are tapped in. The metal in between the 2 bolts will crack. It's been argued that the 2 bolt mains are stronger just because they have the extra metal. I'm by no means saying thats going to happen, and that your doing anything wrong, I just hope it doesn't happen to you (it happened to me)

What kind of power were you making? What was the use (nitrous/blower/etc)? We will soon see how it handles it. I hope to get back to it on Thursday to finish the fab. Maybe test this weekend.

Re: Changes for 2012
Thats a mean woody (caprice, roadmaster?)
Not nearly as much as you, not even 550 hp. I built the motor at school. The 010 'high nickle' block and all. It was a na all fuel motor with decently high compression. It started knocking prolly 8 months after it was built. The guy was pretty hard on it though....although I know it had a rev limiter on it for 7200 (it was a well balanced motor)
I need to get on my project, been a bad week. I don't even have the motor fully mounted in the truck yet
