people push over 400whp on stock block d series. the weak point is the head studs.


i say why build something that doesnt have to be built? thats like fixing stuff that doesnt need it.

i plan builds on a budget. because i have limited $$$$. so if you have unlimited $$$ build the motor. if not leave it oem spec with head studs
