Question Stronger Block Years?
I am new to the forum as well as engine rebuilding. Everybody on this site seems to know what they are talking about.
I would like to rebuild a 351w, possibly a 418 stroker. I am having trouble finding out if there were years of the block that were stronger then others and will handle the power better. If there were, what year block would you reccomend? I plan on producing anywhere between 425 to 475hp.
I would also like to know what preperation needs to be done to this block at the machine shop in order to prepare it for such horsepower. I'd greatly appreciate any help.
