The bottom line is how fast do you want to go? 9's in a 2800-3200 pound car is VERY doable in either a LA or magnum engine block. I get tired of hearing how much better the magnum block is out of guys that are going slow.
Im not going to go into the 9s on a stock crank,stock oilingsystem in a 3200pound streetcar on regular pumpfuel anyway so i think we can drop that thought. Just trying to figure out how far things can reasonably be pushed before i need to start caring about that part,i realy have no dessire to overbuild things or put more effort into this than needs to be done,yes i know for sure that alot of times its better to do everything at once and be done with it but thats not the plan here and i doubt my next shorthblock will ever be in the car long enough to be worth overdoing.
I dont think the magnumblocks are the best thing since sliced bread but i doubt they are any worse than any LA block i would rather beleive that they might just be better stock considering how machining tolerances has improved over time.
