I have a 454 Gen V HP425 with a B&M 174 - is this block the same as the 500hp and if so does that mean its bullet proof (English expression for long life with abuse!)
700 is realistic , 800 to 900 not for long and you'll be putting some good parts back in
Depends on your defination of "not for long" I know of several with over 100 hrs like that... Your point is well taken, they won't live forever that way....
