Will have "99" at the end of the number on the side of the block....

Sure someone will come along with a pic in a mo.

Should only be a problem if you're running huge power (500+ bhp), as think only the big power guys have had dramas.

ok mint-375hp should not cause any drama then?

Mark Shead

They only seem to start giving problems much over 500hp and deff not a good idea to run over 600hp on a linerd one

i never seen a cossie round that way before !

Mark Shead

Pistons melt blocks twist or crack, You wont have any problems, I do have one 99 block running over 600hp and so far ok but this was a seasoned one and not new at this level,
Some will be better than others and some will be worse.

how much seasoning do they need? I have an SCS engine on a SCS t38 and running 440 brake on the dyno but am wanting to move to a GT30 at some point.......

I figure do a few k on this setup (must be close to 5k now) then GT30 and hope everything is cool
