I'm just curious what people are using to keep the bottom end strong in a stock block.

The "trend" seems to be aluminum main caps on stock blocks over 600 hp.

My current 446" project has evolved into something that should be well above that. THe block has already been machined with stock caps and ARP studs... and I have almost everything to get the motor together. I'm wondering if it is worth the added expense to go to the aluminum caps (plus $ machining), or build what I have ... and save my duckets for a future aftermarket block stroker.

Thanks,

Rob
