over 400bhp costs a lot to do if you want it to be safe and if you crack a block then you have some big costs coming your way anyway at a time when you might not want it.
Ive got a 200 block engine here also but im keeping that for a bigger build and for the 3dr.
450bhp should be reliable enough in a 205 block if done right, although i am now also thinking of reworking the head whilst i have the opportunity
