I was talking to a buddy who said he heard someone (in the racing community) say the Duratec was the most under-developed engine out there. He said the webbing and the like are just amazing, and no one has come close to the potential of the engine for a race car.
That, combined with some tales of cracked 302 (5.0 Mustang) blocks, got me thinking. Has anyone ever cracked a 2.5 or 3.0 block? I've heard that con-rods are a potential weak spot, but with a 400+ fwhp 2.5 out there, it makes me wonder - where's the limit? With TVR and Noble both having used the block, can we expect to see some really crazy parts in this block?
