    well you block rock the block. i would go better then 1/2 fill but still has to big of mains and rear seal to deal with . getting a nascar crank in it that takes a small main bearing would make this block abit of a wet dream . short rods with added stroke add to side load . the 6.250 rods help rod angle out and could go way past what the block could hold with stroke and still have less side load with the longer rod......... good night.......sleep tight..........and do not let the bed bugs bite. that my dad told us sure he added to it ...i think it was mowhawk carpet add ? many moons ago. i all so like.... watch ...out were the husky go and dont you ..eat the yellow snow ... frank zappa
