    • @Moparmaga-1
      @Moparmaga-1 Місяць тому +2

      If you're buying a $7500 block that means you got a lot more into it and the block is protection. 800 HP is your everyday limit for a stock block, I'll put it this way...if you're making 800 HP why would you risk an entire engine possibly because a 45-60 year old block failed.
      It is a lot but it's insurance really for the rest of the engine

      Actually they can't make a car every 5 minutes but they can put out a finished car every 5 minutes, with PRE-PAINTED PARTS and pre built engines. And it may be faster than that. If you look up the production figures for 1966 Mustang you will see some very large numbers, 607000 from 3 assembly plants.
