Running E85 with even a pretty moderate TT setup, pushing 650BHP out of the 302 with the new heads shouldn't be that difficult. And then, boys and girls, we have a bit of a beast on our hands.
The main support and the valley girdle are two different things. The main support ties all the main caps together. The valley girdle is like a truss that stiffens the valley to help keep the block from flexing.
