3.8 stock block..

itschristorres8 · January 1st, 2007, 02:48 AM

anyone know how much a stock block can handle?

my goal isnt past 600rwhhp...maybe over 600bhp depends but im curious if anyone knows. i cant find it anywhere on google

232stang · January 1st, 2007, 02:54 AM

i doubt that

itschristorres8 · January 1st, 2007, 02:55 AM

doubt what?

232stang · January 1st, 2007, 03:02 AM

that a stock block could handle that much. why would you even want to try and what would you do to get there?

itschristorres8 · January 1st, 2007, 03:03 AM

forged internals, stage 3 PP and a turbo kit

ive heard foxs running 9s on a stock block i dont see why a built engine with a stock block couldnt handle 500hp or 600hp

Luvdmustang · January 1st, 2007, 04:00 AM

as long as the engine is built and stuff, the stock engine is fine. i dont see why you dont think a stock block could handle it. not tryin to argue

yea the essex block is one tough block. Just need to build it up. 600+ may be pushin it a bit.

itschristorres8 · January 1st, 2007, 12:58 PM

i'll ask a speed shop if they know. probably just manage or settle for 550 or so bhp. if not i might as well just get a short block stroked then throw a stage 3 kit on it

but idk i think it'll handle it...idk about nitrous though...might hold off on it depending wat the speed shop or dyno place will say

i have one recomendation for you....get 4 bolt mains

Ninjawafers! · January 1st, 2007, 07:12 PM

im thinkin i really dont want to go past 250rwhp... i just want somethin that can get up and go when i need it to... im thinkin about settlein for bolt ons and 4.10s.. and stay with the 7.5 rear end and t-lok it... but the essex block can handle big numbers.. but i wouldnt push it too high

ok 4 bolt mains are the "brackets" that hold down your crank...and stock only has 2...when you get a lot of power it would be wise to get your block machined to have 4 bolts.......
4 bolt main

stock

Ninjawafers! · January 1st, 2007, 09:15 PM

i see... never would have thought of that.. ill do that when i rebuild with forged internals and a stage 3 powerpak

itschristorres8 · January 1st, 2007, 09:16 PM

you know about how much that'd cost

ehh my goal list seems to have more and more parts on it

Ninjawafers! · January 1st, 2007, 09:18 PM

haha i just want a lil more get up and go.. the engine rebuild will be way down the line... just some bolt ons here and there for me... one question... would shorty headers be direct replacement for stock? im gettin a h-pipe and cat back system fabbed up at the local shop for my stock headers and i want to know if when i get shorties it will be a direct replacement

chevy_killer · January 1st, 2007, 09:19 PM

i cant remember exactly....just call a machine shop....i would do it when your doing your stroker kit

yup, should fit just right

i keep thinking about just getting a power pak and full bolt ons, this way i dont spend the real big money on forged internals, new rear and the turbo....
but the turbo is really worth it. plus i'll never be happy with it
