396 build
396 build Ill be having a 396 LT1 built when i go to Iraq in 2 months. it will be nitrous fed (up to a 300 shot) and im worried about block strength. what are guys like Tanner and Tony Shepard (not meaning to leave anyone out but those are the first 2 that came to mind) using to ensure that this wont be an issue?
Half filled stock block, magnafluxed, sonic checked, 4 bolt billet main splayed with billet front cap and rear strap. I run a Cola forged 3.875 crank with Lunati billet 5.85' rods, JE custom nitrous pistons.
