If you are after reliability and big step increase in HP you have to pay the $$$ price for top of the range components, we have spent over $19K now plus labour to get to a reliable 430 HP 9.5 engine. Also there is possibly some additional change in the newer B235 block , some of the strengthening was removed this is correct, however the actual casting looks to be upgraded and also possibly a change in heat treatment to improve machining time and finish and also to improve ductility (strength)
have had first hand experience when yo get the mix of high performance expectations and stock internals ( BooooooooooooooM)
