Cracked a Block?
Just yes or no. Don't care about mods or stock. Not windowed a block.

Im not sure if i understand your post. Is it asking if any members have cracked theirs somehow? If so, Stroken has cracked his, i'm working on his truck, fixing it and putting a new shortblock/heads, we should have it over 500hp and into the 13's on 38's when i'm done

All this Cracked block fear....I'm just wondering. There are a lot of members/posters here. At any given time there are 100+ people viewing the 7.3 forum alone. How many have just cracked a dang block? I think we are going to like the numbers.

Edit: We know you're going to "Window" a block. That is a separate poll for another day

I'm not afraid of a cracked block.......I'll window another before that happens.

Although windowing the first wasn't any fun so I hope not to do that again

Although either would equally suck for me. Your "windowed" block still doesn't count.
