Not to mention the really weak area which is between the main and cam bearings. This is the weakest link in as far as being able to really crank out some decent rpms. Every small block anything should be able to spin 9500 rpm all day long with occasionjal blasts up to 12,000 rpm. Thing is none of them can do that reliable. So all small blocks, be they ford, chebbie, chrysler, they all fall short of what they really should be capable of. That is why one day I will design my own engine from scratch. New sheet of paper, cause so far, no one has got it right.
