So i got this 350 out of a 93 yukon...the engine was still running when it was pulled out but i wanted to start a summer project so i proceeded to tear it down.

after stripping the block down of literally everything i noticed that its only a 2 bolt main

now i had a goal of 550 to 600 horses so i dont think 2 would cut it....i'd need at least 4..

so my question is...can you stregnthin the block or convert it to 4 bolt to handle the power or is it just too much work and not worth it?

and im just wondering how much do you think a 2 bolt main would hold up to roughly?
