Yes, I have seen production 400 blocks fail. I have seen production blocks of just about every make fail.
What I have never seen was anyone claim "Swap in a World block and tada on dyno it made 78 hp and 90lb ft of torque more, no different specs."
If that were true it would be cover material for every Magazine out there. World would be hyping it to everyone. Even if they were being conservitive based off your numbers and said "gain 50hp and 50 lb ft with our new stronger block". They would print ads in every magazine saying that. What better way to market an aftermarket block, then show power increases?
Sure, they are marketing them for duability, but if people thought they would gain 50+ hp and torque, I know they would sell twice as many blocks as they do now.1971 Camaro 427 in waiting
