BTW, I would go for a 1,000 dollar block if it could support in the area of 750-1,000 hp and came with 4-bolt mains on all 5 caps as well as full water-jackets, and a few other features that would make it tough. Especially if all I had to do would be to torqueplate hone the cylinders to final size. Basic block work is gonna cost you in the 500 dollar range. Thanks to Ford's ever so excellent quality controls on the windsor engines, A new Summit 302 and block prep would put you at the 800 dollar level and for an engine that would only be good for 450-550 hp. Wouldn't a block capable of 1,000 hp be worth another 2-300 dollars?
