Mux213, as I said in another thread, keep boost low and compression shouldnt be an issue, especially on the earlier engines as I believe they run a lower compression ratio anyway!
I highly doubt it will tear the block apart. I've seen 240 + hp put through an Austin A series engine (1293cc). Thats got a piddly 3 main bearings and are not exactly a rigid block. It chews up bearings, pistons, camshafts and gearboxes but the guy is yet to ruin a block beyond re-use. A 5 bearing engine will survive it easily I'd expect. As I understand it the 7 rib blocks are a nicety, not a necessity. |
