Hey guys,
While I'm probably going to run the existing 3.800 x 2.660 combo I have, the huge bore to stroke ratio and the limits of a stock block have me wondering how much farther I can push it past the current ~350hp peak I'm considering now without blowing the bottom out or loosing control of the valvetrain.
One of the non-stage options that's actually class legal is to use one of those horrid 3.500in bore LC9 blocks from 78-79 and put some stroke back into it with an Indy ~3.0X crank or something else similar. How strong are these super early even fire blocks and is there any problems putting 8445 or aftermarket heads on them?
Thanks,
