Message	We know what the stock motor can do and also know it will last forever as long as the proper pm is done. This is not about a stock motor. They speak for themselves. We also know that with increased hp comes increased stress which causes premature failure. That is all a no brainer. We also know if it is built correctly by an experienced technician, it will last longer than a motor built by an amateur. Again, It seems as though motors that are "built" by whoever do not last over say 60k if that! It seems as though other veterans here agree with the acception of Aliaz who has 40k but again, he hasnt reached 60k yet so... I believe his motor will be a tell tale sign. It seems as though he may know his s**t when it comes to building but I personally dont know him or know his background. If Guapo says Aliaz knows his shit about building then I believe him not including the fact that his motor @ 40k is more than most people are getting out of built blocks it seems.... :( ****472 RWHP/461 TORQUE ON 110 RACE GAS @21 PSI ****438 RWHP ON 93 OCTANE PUMP GAS/STOCK MOTOR**** ****429 FT LBS/TQ******************************* Also own: 2001 Harley Davidson Custom Softail Deuce 1997 Ford Explorer XLT V8 AWD 1993 300ZX 2+2 NA 1991 Yamaha YZ250 1985 Ford Bronco 3" lift, 35" Tires Sold: 1987 Nissan 300zx na(Z31) 1979 280ZX 2+2 1972 MGB 1968 Pontiac Firebird
