Looking to start building a new engine for my car soon. I would like to get an aftermarket iron block but they seem to be far and few between at the moment and aluminum is just out of the budget. My question is how high can you fill a factory block and still street drive it with an oil cooler? I'm trying to resist block failure at higher horsepower levels the best I can with a factory block. I've heard a girdle helps a lot too. If it matters I am planning on keeping it stock displacement, no long stroker cranks for me. Any recommendations on good companies for crank and rods?
Thanks for any input,
Jack
