Default Boost Question

I've asked before, but no answer...
Does anyone know how much boost a 305 block can handle? If I'm going to boost it, it'll be built up right. I just don't know how much boost the block itself can handle...

And, does anyone know how much boost a 302 (whether a de-stroked motor or a real 302) can hold? I kinda like the idea of 7-9 K rpm on a turbo V8...

If you going to use a lot of boost, my suggestion is to invest in a Bow Tie racing block. Good insurance. Because of the short stroke the 302 will have a stronger crank than the 305. A stock block will probably survive up to around 700 HP, more than thst you will need something sturdier.

Oh thank you so much!

Crank is no prob, I'm planning on (If I ever do anything) doing everything as strong as I can afford. So it'll take me awhile. But 700 Horses will definately let me wup my camaro bud...

*Anyone know a Bow Tie Racing link? I googled and found a dead link...*
