how much can the stock block handle

texas_mustang · May 9th, 2008, 02:46 PM

not the internals, just the lower block with ARP main studs

MyGT · May 9th, 2008, 02:47 PM

i've heard around 500

NMR-2vGT · May 9th, 2008, 02:50 PM

The block itself can handle ALOT. Its not the block that weak, its the internals of the block. I think ive heard that the block itself can handle upwards of 1000hp

Maybe an unrelated question, but for the heads to start warping the factory temp gauge would probably have to peg red for quite a while, yes? My 96 Cobra runs a little hot in real hot temperatures... just paranoid a previous owner could have overheated the car. The thermometer reads hot... but it never actually touches an overheating stage.

^ Probably better to start a seperate thread for that

gtdan · May 11th, 2008, 11:22 PM

HMUSN · May 11th, 2008, 11:23 PM
