2.5 block
Is a 2.5 N/A block and crank the same as a 2.5 turbo block and crank as long as its a common block???? Also what HP is a stock 2.5 crank good to, im looking to build a all out motor but i haven't noticed a forged crank for the 2.5, ive seen them for 2.2s, so would it be better to build a high HP 2.2 or 2.5?

Re: 2.5 block
this has been debated into the ground...the only consensus: 2.5 in heavy car, 2.2 in light car.
crank will take more than you can give it as long as the block doesn't flex...

I think the big thing is that the 2.5 makes a lot more torque in the lower RPMs but runs out of steam higher up, and the 2.2 is the opposite. Either way, I've seen the cast cranks reach in excess of 400hp.
As for the block, I just picked up a '92 NA commonblock from the junkyard and the machine shop charged me I think $12 to drill the oil return hole and press in a the tube.
