I did a heads/cam on a 156k 2-bolt LT1 shortblock and it ran 13.4 in the quarter in a 4700 lb. Caprice 9C1. I beat on it every day with no issues, close to 200 passes before I sold it. According to the ET chart on the impalass forum, I had the second quickest Comp 502 cammed B-body around. Considering yours is a built shortblock with studs, I wouldn't hesitate to wail on it. It'll hold up.

Stock crank and block proven past 800 - 1000 HP. Not sure if it was using the stock mains or billet ones, and almost certainly ARP hardware, but still rather impressibe IMO.
