I am going to be putting heads, cam, miniram intake, 3.70 gears, rebuilt 700r4 and a new torque converter. My question is will astock lower end with roughly 125k on it be able to handle the power increase. Right now i run prolly in a 13.8 or so range with good traction. I am guessing the combo could be a lowwwww 12. Anyhew you guys think itll be somewhat of a good chance to run it like that? If not is therea good affordable block I can use?

I reallly would like to just keep the same block, but if it aint gonna be safe then I will dump away.

 

Depends more upon how high you spin it than the miles on it.

What cam & heads are you planning?

5600 RPMs shouldn't be a problem for a stock shortblock. Heads might be a little too big. You're probably looking at about 375 HP.

Not sure about low 12's, but 12's should be obtainable.

 

Okay do you mean 5600 rpms or 6500? Also while we were on the subject. I have been the biggest fan on s/c. If i were to install a miniram setup with a megasquirt ecm and buy a used s/c and run it like 8-9 psi would that be safe? Im just tryin to gather options before i dig myself into something I cannot get out of. The s/c and miniram would be on the stock heads cam....... Am i crazy?
