The stock bottom end is pretty stout if treated correctly. Where you run into problems is spinning them too high at high horse power. The trick is peak lower and shift around 5,800 - 6,000. That's why nitrous is so bad (meaning good) it makes sick torque and you don't need to wrap your engine out to make power.
Our blocks suffer from small oil return passages and when you run them up high they can suck the pan dry since the oil returns slowly. That is why I would favor and twin screw on a stock 2v, no need to over rev it.
