[QUOTE="Nightmare302, post: 15345039, member: 14127"] The iron black is only a 2 bolt main. It has a tendency to have the crank walk at high HP levels due to this. The iron block itself is strong as in you won't blow it in half because of the power but it's design is lacking compared the teksid and newer WAP block (3v block). The Boss block has the same issues but add in the fact that it has very little of material left between the cylinders. This causes them to blew head gaskets at a higher rate. There has been a few people machine the caps to fit 4 billet mains and torque them to ~120 ftlbs to keep the heads sealed. The 3v block (newer WAP) is just as strong as the Teksid block, people just get stuck on the teksid because well Mustang people get stuck on things (I.E. precision turbos, kellogg cranks and FR-500 wheels). The aluminum blocks are superior at over 1k hp because of their 4 bolt mains. Stroked motors are fine if they are built right but they do put more pressure on the skirt of the piston. I would rather keep a stock stroke but many people use strokers and do just fine. What they told is mostly truth. Just because one guy made power in an iron block doesn't mean its the best path to choose. [/QUOTE]
