340 vs 360

I would ask what they mean by a stock block. If they mean stock fasteners than yes I wouldn't go any higher than 500hp, but then I wouldn't go any higher than stock hp with stock fasteners.

I have studs, both head and main and have my block half filled with hard blok so technically it isn't "stock" but then again it isn't a high dollar race block and it didn't take much work for it to handle the 550 I am putting thru it for 3 seasons.

Like 340srule is saying, it is all in the details.

340mopar and 340srule - So it's clear that not everyone agrees with R. E. (MoparAction). I notice that it appears there is a lot of disagreement over his stand on brake fluid type too, as well as 8.75 wheel bearing choice - it seems according to the latest issue that I referred to, the Green bearings come into question, and yet I notice that most folks ... that's what they are using nowdays.

I am not attempting to create dissension at all - I am only interested in gaining the most useful knowledge available.
