a460 v/s Eliminator premier block

Ok witch block is a better block and why or they basically the same. I do no about the cap difference on the premier block being all four bolt main and you can get them In billit caps .what you guy think ...... thanks

Either one is a great foundation, and will do what ever you need. The Eliminator is a little more money, and you may have to wait on availability. The A460 is almost always ready to ship.

is one stronger than the other I really don't think so

The eliminator blocks do offer a lot of nice options and billet caps on some models, but they are more expensive and typically can have a long wait to get one. 

The a460 blocks are plenty good too.

.

depends on your final build . you want roller cam bearings? extra cost for the A460 block for one example

My friend has Eliminator premieres in stock ill shoting for 1500hp and more soon

Does anybody know the general max safe bore size for A-460 vs. eliminator premier?

you should be asking your friend about the blocks,

Finding a ring pack above 4.650 bore is going to be expensive, and most A and Elim blocks will go that far.

The max safe bore on an a460 is 4.600, but most will go over that.

As far as eliminator blocks it depends on the model, they offer some that are not good for more than 4.500 and some that can go to 4.700

DanH what u mean the a460 r rated more then 1500 anyway and a stock block goo to 1000 and be very safe and from my knowledge the only difference between the two blocks are the caps

Stock blocks will not go safely to 1000hp they are a bomb fuse at that level

The stock blocks and an a460 block are not alike. The a460 stuff is much thicker and heavier.

IF your friend has them in stock, then it should have been an easy choice...  

Dfree I no stocks not the same as a a460.a460 and premier was the ones I was talking about I no people make over 1000on stock 460 for years if a winsor can go 800and be ssfe Y couldnt a 460go to 1000 :-/

I know there were guys back in the day going over 1000hp with boosted deals, and they were living, just not very long.

some people cam blow shit up well under four digit horsepower the block not being the factor........just sayin'........

Yeah a good tune helps I here 1800 on the a460 and 2500 on the eliminator I was making 650 hp on a stock 302 took it apart and all looks good

What kind of use did that 302 see?
If that was a documented 650 hp in a stock 302 block, I'd have expected it to split in two on the second dyno pull.

Nah... 640hp on a daily streeted 302. It lasted about 3 years. Didn't split in 2, blew a cylinder apart, cracked vertically bottom to top at the 4 corners. 69 block.... Most of the time it was street driven and only run up to about 5k At the track on slicks it did 5k clutch drops and shifted about 7500RPM. Now the T5... that didn't fare so well.

Most drag and a friend had a 9.40 302 for 3 years and still doing great so that's y I'm sure a 460 will do 1000 with no problem

Keep it under 6500 and its fine

You build a lot of big engines?

This is my first bbf but my father inlaw doseand a few of my friends do

The Eliminator premier block I can get for just a few hundred more than a 460 and it has billet caps
Do u guy think its worth 300 more then a460 ... thanks for your help
