Will my D1VE-6015-AA hold up?

Hey guys, I have a D1VE-6015-AA block that I am building a 512" with. This engine will be turbo'd with a 91mm with a 1.32 a/r. Going in a 3000lb Fox Coupe.

My main concern is the main caps. Will they hold the power if studded? If not, what can I do besides buying another block? This block is in excellent shape.

Thanks,
Chris

I'd consider a better Block, Like an A460 or eliminator one to give myself piece of mind.

the block is in excellent shape ....... has it been sonic cked ???

how much boost ??

It has been sonic checked. Probably around 13-15lbs of boost.

Is this a standard-webbed passenger car block or a thick-webbed passenger car block?
2-bolt mains or 4-bolt mains?
What with the crankshaft stroke be?
How much horsepower are you targeting?
Peak rpm?

Also, regardless of your answers to all of the above questions if I were building such an engine with the passenger car block I would use the OEM main bolts, not the ARP main studs.

It is the standard passenger car block. Thin webbing. I found a company in Ga that makes main caps for the thin webbing.

I will be running a 4.140" stroker Ohio Crank. Bore will be 4.440"

We are planning on making 13-1500 rwhp with P51's

Looking like I am just gonna save the coin and get a good aftermarket block.

Good idea....

smart choice even if it takes you a little longer its money well spent , and that 91mm on those p51 are going to be sick !!!!! good luck and keep us posted
