I've done a ton of googling and found a bunch of info dealing with aluminator short blocks or stock short blocks, but nothing on the stock block itself.
I'm trying to plan my "pay to play" route over the next 18 months or so. I'd *like* to crack 1000 at the wheels but I think 800 is going to be far more realistic. As many of you know Ford/FRPP offers two blocks: the standard '13-'14 production block (M-6010-M504V) and their coyote performance aluminum block (M-6010-M50R) which is reinforced in key areas for "high horsepower builds". The thing is everyone has a different definition of "high horsepower" and my google fu has not provided a definitive answer on the realistic limits of the production block.
Is it unrealistic to expect the production block to hold up to 800-1000whp/600-800wtq levels? What sort of power levels/boost pressures mandate the performance block?
Links to references would be appreciated. I didn't find anything definitive.
