The base block came from the 50s, of course it won't hold up to insane power as well as a more modern engine. If you're shooting for 500+ crank you should be ls swapping anyway.

No excuse.

The stock 302 is essentially a stroker engine and its stock configuration is basically pushing the passenger car block to its limitations already.

>>17261116
The 302 is actually oversquare but your point stands.

>>17260954
you're thinking of 5.0 blocks. you know the ones that are 15lbs lighter than the old 289 ones.

being to poor to get the block braced
