Magnum shortblock capability.

Thats just sour grapes guy. Sorry to hear you talk like that. That motor was built to enter a dyno competition with. Nothing more. Slide that over into an R3 block that combo would run forever. Low compression, 255/265 cam.
Why buy a 3000 dollar block for a dyno deal when he could fill a 100 dollar block with concrete( which he did) and still get the results. You really disappointed me with that comment. Sounds very condescending

No sour grapes but a few hits on a dyno proves nothing about durability and I think that's what this post is about. I know for a fact that an LA block can run 9's for well over 7 years and didn't fail because of the block. Heck even worn out it ran 10.08 at 3200 pounds in Pa's June weather. For us "budget racers" its about durability right? I would love to see what a Magnum block is capable of instead of a few dyno hits filled with concrete.
