What modded block can be stronger than a (properly) sleeved iron block.....?
Phil's block......was it aluminum? No aluminum block, filled or not, is stronger than a resleeved iron block. Not even close.
What's "dry deck" ?
Who knows what went wrong with Phil's......if its built with a fault in it or you push it past its ability.....then anything will break.

Built right.....there's nothing stronger. Steve at RED has done many.......they are the ultimate in strength. There's no way to make a stronger block.

On the pricing, looking at the website it appears the 4.125 bore Superdeck at 3500 is still cheaper than an LSx punched to 4.125 and if they have them available on the shelf it would save some pretty valuable time. Running right at 3.4 k for the LSx block, the machine work is going to be well over 1000. Kind of wish I had looked closer at this before I pulled the trigger on the LSx. One little gotcha there is the ARP studs and blots, that is a 500-600 expense that if you forgo, you just started pissing into the wind. They are included with the Superdeck. IMHO the quality of your rotating assembly is the bottom line on the quality of your build. just my .02
