So this is going to be a Chris Hill project car and not a 3sx car? You know, the funny thing is a low-dollar project car will probably bring more business at this point than a higher budget race car. At least that will give customers a more reasonable expectation of what they can achieve.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. If you really want to find the limits of a two bolt motor, wouldn't that require actually pushing the motor until you blow it up? In reality, you would probably need to blow up quite a few motors in order to get any reliable data out of it. In any case, I agree with what a lot of the others are saying - the two bolt block seems to be plenty strong for what most people will throw at it.
