My current build that I have run 8.90's with has the 5 program main caps, I thought it would be a prudent upgrade at that power level. My old motor that I ran 9.40's with was 2 bolt block with main studs and after 3 years running the old motor shifting at 7500rpm, the main bearings were perfect when I pulled it out and tore it down. For the cost/expense/time involved I would not do a factory block again. Just buy the Indy block and be done with it.

The Indy blocks have there own problems even after you spend the $5000 to buy one, so putting $1600 extra into a stock iron block is still $3400 less than an Indy block and at least you'll know what you have. I also own an Indy block and they require a lot of extra money, effort to get right even after the purchase. Really the best bang for the buck is a warmed over 360 and call it good, but then no one every accused racers as smart or frugle. So long as I have cash flow I'll keep spending it, since you can't take it with you.
