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

Thanks for seeding doubt in my mind.
Am I an asshole for buying an R-3 block ?
I am no where near wealthy , but I figured ( and this is why three years of stock piling and waiting had to happen ) that if I have a billet crank shaft and Crower rods , do I want to gamble with anything less than optimum ?
A stock block , with a half fill and caps and girdle etc. is a bandaid when there is a procedure that will cure any doubts.
Those who allude that this myth started with the good folks who sell R-3 blocks are clearly not in touch with Ma MoPar's non-existent performance marketing techniques.
I'd wager that 89.731 % of Chrysler / Fiat management think an R-3 is some kind of tax form.
Will the stock block break at 500 , 600 or 700 horses ?
I have no intention of finding out.
If your lasts , then well played , Sir.
I'm happy for you and wish you nothing but the best in time slips and life.
But , and many of my Canadian compadres may approve of this analogy , you don't see too many players in the NHL skating in Bauer Black Panthers.
They could............they don't.
Nuff said.
