Aftermarket block street strokers.

Well, I've always read the safe limit on the low deck factory block is around 650 horsepower. And that's possible with some TF 240 heads and a SFT cam. If I were to go over to bushed lifters, the expense of a solid roller, and max wedge heads then I would rather put all that down n the stronger, raised RB blocks that can achieve a 4.5 inch bore. It would be a rather nasty street engine.
If you are comparing stock 400 blocks to stock 440 blocks, consensus is that the 400 is (usually) stronger.
It's not fair to compare a stock 400 to an aftermarket RB, lol.
I think, if I were trying to build a maximum effort engine, I'd try for a 4.500 bore aftermarket B block, aluminum or iron..... yet to be determined, lol
