Default Houch power can lq4 block take

How much power are you guys
Making outta these blocks? I'm tryin to make 1100 I've seen a
Bunch of you guys making a ton of power with these, the setup I'm looking to go with is if you can take the blck to a 427 if that's possible, Callie's dragon slayer crank,Oliver billet rods, wiesco pistons. Heads are goin to be
305s power added is a F1R,so first and foremost can you take a lq4 to a 427 without weakining the cylinder walls and second can this block handle 1100hp without having to go to a Lsx block.

Thanks guys

427 is really pushing it....you gain a lot of reliability if you stay at or under 4.00" stroke, because after that the short skirts come down out of the bore too far and let the pistons roll back and forth a good bit. I run and recomend a 408....gives you great power and durability. I plan on going FI here in the future and will have no doubts that it will take what I throw at it

1100hp isnt a problem for the block, neither is 427ci as long as you use stroke to get there, and not bore it much.
