I agree with you hsss that a 5.7 is stronger than a 5.0. I do not agree that a that a 5.0 is going to break the crank at stock to moderate hp 400 fwhp. Most of the crank failures are on very high mileage vehicles that where going to break anyway. I've seen several late model 5.7 split a block also. Best bet if your making power adder hp is to buy an aftermaket block or if you cant afford that find a 69 thru 72 351 windsor. Just my opinion. Sorry I hijacked this dudes thead I'll shut up.

later
