Are these hard to setup? Where do you get things like freeze plugs, cam bearings, and whatnot? Or are they the same as the 5.0? Do these blocks take roller cams or only flat tappet? I'm halfway considering getting one and putting a stroker kit in it. Is there anything special I need to do to make it work like a normal 5.0? Any major differences? How much power can a B-50 block hold?
