**600hp sbm block limit? Or is it bs!!**

I ran a 360 block for 4 years street and strip, stock crank, H Beam rods,studded main caps, and KB pistons. this engine never mist a beat. Made 407 hp and 401 tq to the rear tires. My intentions were to pull it apart and make it stronger for Nos. Well I put the nos on first,180 shot( mistake ) it made 545 hp and 569 tq to the rear tires. I got 4 passes out of it and it cratered.
Now I blaim the KB pistons, not really sure it made such a mess its hard to say.After reserching it I decided to go with the R3 eng just to be safe.

I would agree with you that a piston failed and took everything with it. Those were cast pistons right? Looks like it because of all the pieces. These blocks are alot stronger than most give them credit for in my opinion.
