Will block fill do anything to support thin cylinder walls (.100-.125) from cracking or melt down? This is a sbc 283 bored to 4". It will be a brackett racer and will be a 'carbed' motor with no bottle so no extreme pressures. Horsepower will not be over 400. Thanks.
Also don't forget that the engine will run warmer.
I.M.O.,you are building a bomb.
If you want more hp just build a 383.
