ok, I will be running the stock block, aftermarket internals for next year (if it holds) I am considering investing in a new aftermarket block. World Castings has its new Winsor R block, but I have not seen any information on it.

I heard someone talking about a block that would take 1000 HP, but its cheaper then the Darts. Anyone know anything about them?

I am looking for a 302 based block. I am not considering using a 351 block because my internals are new and good to well beyond my HP goals.

TIA

 

What type of power are you laying down with your current setup? What's your goals for the new motor?

 

Dyno numbers will be in the spring. I will be detuning to 550 RWHP / 600 RWTQ. I Should be around 12-14 PSI with the 68 mm turbo.

The new motor would get a new turbo. The Innovative 68 mm is a bit too small for my setup but it will still work decent. It will killer TQ in the mid/low range. I would choose a Garrett GTB-45 or a small frame 80mm setup. Basically as big as you can go before thumper territory. I dont want to have my turbo to peak way up high.

 

R302 are cheaper than Dart
around $2300.00cdn
Better re-sale value as well.
