I don’t think we’ve seen anyone blow a stock block up yet. Pistons and rods, sure. Stock block amd stock crank, not that I am aware of..

The block should do it but I wouldn't use the stock crank for 1500 hp build. The block on these LS & LT with the side bolts on the main caps will do the job. But also on that hp I would use ARP head studs & the APR main studs set up also. Crap I am using the on my 800 hp build that I am doing at the moment.. Robert
