Chris where can I get some info in one of those little M sportsman blocks. What kind of power will these things hold up to? who makes these blocks?
SBC main caps
I am going to be converting a 2 bolt 400 block to a 4 bolt setup and was wundering what you guys have used as far as companys. I see there are alot of them that make splayed caps . Who makes a good set ? Thanks.

Do you know how much a iron eagle block runs with steel caps just looking on line I see them for 2500+.Chris Uratchko said:I don't know a whole lot about the sportsman block....

should make 700-750 horsepower n/a somewhere between. He gave it to me to use, I didn't buy it but he said it was 1200 bucks. It has main bolts instead of studs. I'm a little surprised that steel caps alone would add that much to the cost.... I would prefer steel caps, but the iron splayed will take some abuse.... it's not like the 30 year old iron used in stock blocks.
But far as I can see it's all the same as a normal Little M save for the caps.
BTW Dart makes it. You can check on their website or call them for more information I wish I had more for you.
Wow that's a good savings I will keep your # on hand Thanks chris
