Hello all! I currently have the following mods:6 lb lower,cold air intake,dynatech long tubes & cat back,diablo tune,phenolic spacer,accufab t body.I am considering going with a Kenne Bell & was wondering if the stock block could handle this or should I just go the ported route?Thanks for your help.

 

It depends I have built one with about 400-450 HP on a stock block for a friends F150 its was the 4.6 and he spent alot of money before I charged him for my labor his total was close to 9000 he hasnt had any problems with it and it runs great I dont know how much you have but I wouldnt want to push 500 I wouldnt think

 

Hi.

You might want to check with Mike Troyer.

His 2001 L is pushing a reliable 700+hp (crank) with a stock block and his custom tuning.

Cheers
Grog

 

the rods will come out long beore the block will fail.
