    350 block question

     



    Hey everyone, I have a 350 2-Bolt main block here. I have heard many different opinions about this, but I would like to get your guys opinions. I need to know how much a 2 bolt block can handle. max hp I should plan on building it to. I'm shooting for the 390HP/425TQ range. Let me know what you guys think.
    Thanks a lot

    Buy a set of ARP studs and call it good.
