What kind of hp are these blocks capable of before you have to start getting worried of blowing it apart?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the 4.6 iron block in the 2v is the same as the 03-04 cobra's and you see what kind of numbers they are holding up to. The cast crank and internals are what let go on the 2v way before you would have to worry about the block.

i believe the 4.6 blocks are pretty stout.
NVH blocks are the best choice. I think they started in 03, but many guys put 1000hp no problem.
The 2V block has 2 bolt mains with side jacking bolts. The 03-04 Cobra's have 4 bolt mains with side jacking bolts. The blocks themself will have no problem handling the power the average person can put too it.

From what I have read 800-1000hp with a well built motor. Not bad for a sub $400 block new

What makes these blocks so different from the 4v's? except for the the one being a 2bolt main and the other a 4 bolt?
