Thanks ed! Good to see you on this channel also 👍
Good information. Myself the need depends on the engine design and expected output. I have built only one engine with new caps, a Buick Nailhead with so much walk in the caps they would literally fall out of the block. On the other hand I've built turbo LS's with the stock cross bolted caps pushing stupid amounts of HP and rpm without a problem. IMHO it comes down to the rarity of the block, same thing with liners.

Good point! For me, if it was a really rare engine, I would be scared to push it. If it breaks, that means I have to buy another one 🤣
I would want a new Callies/Energy block from a twin-turbo 440 build. It's a $6k investment, 4x over your upgrade to the stock production block.

If I was planning on making more power than 1000hp I would consider an aftermarket block. Ive made 550hp with a single turbo 361 big block with a mild cam. A stroked 383 should get me to 1000 without too much trouble
Two turbos? Nice.

@@NightWrencher Too late. I see the secret weapon you’re working on Twin Turbo Wrencher.
Nice work. Wick question, if your re-using your cast mains and not line boring don't fit main studs or higher torque main bolts. Thanks.

Correct, if you are reusing the stock caps and not planning on line boring, either use the stock bolts or install aftermarket studs/bolts to the stock spec.

@@NightWrencher you said cast and billet so I assume forged maincaps dont exist? would forged not be a good cost/reliabilty compromise between the 2?

@Subaruby34 I see what you mean. Some companies sell forged caps but since you have to machine everything the same way, the extra cost of billet doesnt really affect things too much and its way stronger
