I have a DSS main support - but don't plan on putting it on.
I'm just going to plan on replacing the shortblock in a few months with something nicer... and try to keep it tuned to about 500 RW for now

The stock blocks can handle a lot of power, espceially if you're not reving the piss out of them. The revs are more detrimental than the power. My last car had 130K on it's stock short blockand dynoed at 444 rwhp. It was a daily driver with all amenities and ran 11 flat on DR's. It would still be alive today except I didn't back off the timing or add a little race gas to it on a very cold day at the track. Even then, it was a burned piston that killed it and not the block.
The one I'm working on now is almost new...only has 112K on the factory short block. I'm hoping it's as good as the last one. The good part about this one is that with the turbo, I should be making a ton more torque than I was on the last one. That means I can drop the gearing a little and turn less rpm's and it should last longer than the other one did. May not happen that way but, who knows. Take a look on www.turbomustangs.com at what some of those guys are running on stock engines. Som of them are scaring the hell out of 9's with stock motors, big turbos and gears that look like a Florida Interstate number. I won't be heading for 9's 'cause it will still have to get me to work. Tens would be nice though.
Yeah, right...that won't happen though...at least not for a while. You know how hard it is to stop squeezing "just a little bit more" out of it.

if anyone does need a DSS main girdle for their 351, i've got one from my last combo. Have the windage tray too, but it'll have to be modified a little due to where my rod tried to exit the block...

This red Mustang belongs to Brent on that turbomustangs site. It had a stock block with a F cam and was daily driven for two years making 612 rwhp and 732 torque ! :o
Oh yeah it was a carb blow through set-up as well. Call it my inspiration.
