There are stage 1 and Stage 2. There are on-center motors and off-center motors. What are they made of well the casting that Buick used is 20% stronger and most blocks are 4 bolt mains. Normally when building these engines Steel or Billet cranks are used, high end heads, intakes ETC.

Do yourself a favor as i could type for hours. Build a 109 Block with a girdle and you will have more than enough power and still have fun without $15000-$20000 into a engine. Trust me I am there.

Scroll down and click on the blocks and start reading.

Good Luck

These blocks are very hard to find now and when you do find one be ready to pay $2500 to $3000 for a USED bare block.
