I know Bill Lutz has beat the piss out of a New Century block for years.Lots of boost in a heavy car and I think he went high 6.60's and 220 plus.If I was looking at a new 4.84 bore spacing block it would be NC.

From what I've heard the Brodix is a good piece also.

 

[fast66]

Also look at CN Blocks. http://cnblocks.com/
Lots of top racers use them and never had any issues with them.

 

[08miller]

I have a Brodix and really don't see where it would hold up to that kind of power.

 

[onefast68]

i would go donovan or cn block..i have a dart alum block at the moment,i want a cn clock

 

[procharged]

9 out of 10 drag radial and 10.5 guys are running brodix if there running aluminum.

 

[buschmec]

billet piece for sure, cn, dart billet, or nc will be good blocks

 

[wizbang]

Customer brought us a Brodix , after his 3rd pass, split # 2 main web ?????

Nothing else is wrong with the engine other than that :finga:

540 , 14-71 drag boat.

Her now has the Dart !

 

[225digger]

new century has a pretty good reputation . i would be torn between them and dart .

 

[overkill69]

serious blown alcohol demands cross bolted mains. The new century is based on a KB/Olds alky engine. It's heavier but water blocks have made over 3000 hp with screw blowers.

 

[HEMIROC]

New Century or KB Olds for cast style ...if you can affofd it go billet

 

[cdrhodes]

I have a brodix 11 months old cracked between cylinders .

 

[mad man]

mine is brodix poured 3000 hp no problem with block can not say the same for crank lol

 

[petec511]

These brodix blocks that are breaking how old are they wondering if they are older models.

 

[JOE NEWSHAM]

i have had 3 brodix blocks all over 3000 horsepower. One of which has been running 6 seconds for over 300 passes and another that has been low 4s in the 1/8 and mid sixes in 1/4 for well over 100 passes with no issues. It doesnt matter what block you have, if you are not on your tuneups you will tear it up. i have a dozen of these blocks in customers cars with hundreds of runs and no problems Knock on wood

 

[chrisevans]

We have a Donovan in the ODR car(The motor was in my car also)........Really nice peice, but I agree 100% with Joe-if your not "on" your tuneup-you can break anything!
