I'm sorry, but here we go again, beating the crap out of the dead horse!
My question is similar to ones that have already been asked. I'm scared to buy an on-center block because I don't know exactly what will transfer over and what won't. I searched through many past threads, including this one. I have read that the on-center is stronger. That's why I'm looking into it.
I'm the guy who posted last week about my Stage II 3.8 off-center block being cracked. (Thanks to all who commented. It really helped me out!!)
I'm thinking about buying a 4.1 on-center block. The heads, as stated in my last thread, are ported M&A stage III heads. Intake is stock style, but bolt holes are elongated and every runner has extensive work done. Sod at Hye Tech, who built and ran it, said he ran this intake on an on-center block too. If that is the case, and it will fit and on-center block, what other items will need to be converted on the top end?
The rotating assembly consists of a 3.590 BMS crank (un-cut), Cunningham I beam rods and JE 3.8 pistons. From what I've read, I will need on-center rods and bigger pistons.
How about the front cover? I've heard people say that there are stage II front covers, if so, will I need a different front cover for an on-center stage II block?
Thanks,
Anthony
