[QUOTE="DocBar, post: 796241, member: 433"] A few trucks have lived at the power levels you mention, but blind squirrels find a nit now and then, too. If you want [I]reliable[/I] over 500, go with a fully built motor. If you want to see what you can get out of a stock motor at those levels, have a built motor on a stand waiting to be installed. It WILL blow eventually. It might be 3,000 miles or 30,000 miles. My money says you'll be driving very easy when the window mod rears its ugly head. "I was doing 20mph in a school zone and developed an ocean of oil under the truck and heard very strange noises with no throttle response." That's a very common thread. Tuning has improved a bunch and has helped keep a lot of motors alive, but there is still a tremendous degree of luck involved with "throwing a forged rod motor in and....". Pick a diesel and you'll see that thread title in any search engine. [/QUOTE]
