340 vs 360

I was just reading in the latest issue of Mopar Action that in answer to some tech Q, R. E. recommends 500 HP as the absolute upper limit on stock smallblock Mopars w/o getting into reliability issues ... cracked blocks, etc.

I am not at all knowledgeable in this area, just thought I share what I read.

Don't believe everything they print in magazines,my 416 stroker is based on a STOCK 340 block,and its putting out at least 520 h.p.,and has almost 2 seasons of racing on it,without any issues,its all in the prep work and using a good block...
