Magnum shortblock capability.

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.

I heard the magnum block is stronger from a local machine shop owner/ engine builder who has forgotten more than i know.
Is it OK if i repeat his info. Its the guy who built the stock stroke 360 with victor heads that made 771
