I need obvious help and guidance as I want to run the highest flowing and biggest power potential small block heads available but i'm not willing to buy a real block as I have been told by "experts" that I can run a stock block and it will live. Please help me as I know nothing of what i'm doing and am trying to do what smart people refuse to as in using a stock block with potential big, 700 ish or more power. I am limited on funds and have no money to buy any parts right now but would love for you guys to waste your time on me and help me live in lala land. I feel it's silly to buy a race block as I have been told by some other la la land inhabitants that a stock block can live if a person knows what they are doing so since i'm smarter and more stubborn than everybody else I want to show up all the race block using guys that if they knew how to tune an engine they wouldn't need that expensive block. I also want 2 plus hp per cubic inch on pump gas as this is going to be my daily driver and work vehicle and want also for it to be a maintenace free engine too since my life is so busy. Feel free to waste your time on me because if I don't like your advice I will ask the same question again until some coddler's tell me what I want to hear and make me feel good.

Should be ok on 87 octane . Might have to spray it with windshield washer juice.

At first I thought you were serious then I realized it was a joke.

This is FBBO. NO ONE runs a small block in a B body on purpose.

Try FABO and ask the guys that drive little cars with little motors.

That's where the topic came from....and it is tongue and cheek to point out the absurdity of what some are spewing over there infact so much fact sharing was done on my part that I ultimately was rewarded with a short vacation from the site due to all my truth serum I passed around.

By the way I do have a 428" stroked small block in my 65 Bel 1 after the big block crankshaft broke in 2 pieces.

You have to use the real metal duct tape and not the cloth kind. Oh and I know the real name is "Duck" tape but I let them think they are the smart ones !

I broke one into 3 pieces. But 340 cranks aren't immune to delamination either.

How much power were to shoving to the crank in that BB? And was it a forged crank? And bailing wire would probably work better than the quack tape :D

This is great info...I am going to show those race block guys I know what i'm doing as soon as I start a job so that I can afford to buy parts. Also because they are sooooo mean and arrogant with their race block stuff I won't share all my secret's of how I made 2 hp per cubic inch on pump gas with no maintenence all while using a stock oem block....I will show them.

I'm using all stock bottom end....i'm not going to waste my money on race parts down there but I do want some 795 dollar complete with rockers and springs heads that will give me an easy 1000 hp.

Most of those guys who 'break' parts are using the wrong cam. Chrysler engineers spent hundreds of dollars figuring out the right cam in the first place, and they often last for years even without proper oil changes.

Good idea....never thought of that.....stock cam and don't change the oil and over time will be low so less windage and the stock cam will save me a bunch of money so I can spend more on my 1000 hp heads, Thanks guys I can't wait to piece this all together and show those race block guys how they just waste money for no reason.
