They're a hell of a lot more reliable than a PRODUCTION BLOCK small block wedge at that power level. I don't need to try to prove it, the proof is out there. By now hundreds of guys have pushed the limits of modern Hemi production blocks and the breaking point is MUCH higher than the old LA/Magnum wedge blocks. Put a 5.7 Hemi block and a Magnum block side-by-side and compare, the extra strength is obvious. I don't know where you're finding all this negative information about them but I can't count how many 600+ HP production block Hemis I've seen on Youtube, this forum, FB groups, in person... and they don't blow up. Seriously with all the G3's running around I've heard of stock pistons breaking or powdered-metal connecting rods snapping but blocks breaking? That's extremely rare and guys go crazy with these things.
It's a shame but I have to agree with some of the above posters, arguing with you is like talking to a wall. You disagree but provide little to no real evidence and explanation of HOW and WHY we are all "wrong". I'm done with this as well, I'll continue talking with all the other misinformed(?) modern Hemi advocates and if some day I build a 600-HP N/A G3 Hemi and break the block, I'll post it on here.
