I used the same main bearings as a 3v would use when I built my 1L block.

It's really speculation as to how much the block will handle. AFAIK the power numbers are base off of a SHMS book and that was just a guess too.

I think a 1L block will hold more than my big bore will. It's a strong block. The most I pushed through mine was 699 and it still ran great when it was pulled. No leaks or odd noises.

all im throwing is a whipple maxxed with a jpc inlet and 127mm maf and tube so ill probably just tip over 700rwhp on a good day at around 18-20lbs with a steeda 10 rib. if i need more ill just throw the gas to it. we will see. its all arp'd so it should be good. what i cant decide is, limiters or lock outs on my 127300's. opinions ?

Al blocks use the same bearings. Romeo iron use one set of bearings and Windsor iron use another set of bearings.
