The early blocks are good for 800hp,.. 600 - 650 with stock rods and crank. With good machining and balance the early blocks can even go as high as 1000hp. But he's wanting to spin over 6000 rpm. At the 400 - 500hp levels they might take 6500 rpm on a regular basis,.. but 800hp is a considerable difference on a stock rotating assembly.
Why chance it?
Thats like a mod guy buying a fully forged rotating assembly,.. puts it all together and never spent the first dime on machine work or any balancing. Then cries that his rotating assembly is junk when it blows up. If your going to make that kind of power,.. you need to have the supporting mods to back it up or your going to break shit.
