Whats the best block


I will eventually build a motor from the ground up what is the strongest block for racing. What blocks are fairly cheap and can take tons of horse.

Boss blocks and World products Man o War blocks are the way to go for a pushrod motor.As far as Mod motors 03-04 cobra blocks and Ford GT blocks are very strong

DART makes the strongest blocks yet, ive never heard of Teksid and im not gonna listen because banned posts all wrong info. now what size are you looking for and what do you plan to make of it??

i picked up a 331 DART block and is capable of holding 1000hp or better, and fits my twin turbo pinto build perfect

I would have to agree that Dart is the strongest yet. Myself I have always used Ford Racing blocks, but have never exceeded 850hp at the flywheel so I have never broken one :~) World Products have been becoming very popular but I have not gotten tons of feedback on them. Dart is for sure a tried product.
