phobik05, I didn't even know about the sleeves in Gen 1 & 2 blocks but I always was under the impression that sleeves would strengthen the cylinder at high hp no? So the Gen 3 block would be the way to go then if I wanted to build the motor up to 1000+hp because of the added casting? Really...

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Im not worried about a budget because I am going to take my time with this build and make sure its done right and not rushed. I know about the chassis and the rest of the car but I am asking if building my Gen 1 block would be better to handle that power...

I want to start an engine build to 1000+hp, currently have a 14' 5.0. I want to know if I should just start with a Gen 3 short block or is the Gen 1 block reliable when built compared to the Gen 3. I know I said "reliable" and "1000+hp" in the same paragraph Thanks
