Sorry, I should have said "in order of strength from weakest to strongest." That would make the 817 the weakest, followed by the 511 and the 509 being the strongest. The 2-bolt versions of each casting are stronger, making the strongest stock block the 509 2-bolt block, which is the block that WayFast is asking about. The 400 debate has been gone over countless times at nastyz28 but here's a recent thread:
http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66006. Pay special attention to Marv D's comments on anything 400 related and Dirt Reynolds' comments on anything Vortec 400 related. They know they're shizzle.
