Paul:  Block testing can be a definite asset to your efforts as long as you 
have the time and money.  To obtain optimum results, your engine must be 
assembled with its major critical components, i.e. cooling system, fire and 
fuel, balanced fan and flywheel. exhaust and a rock solid mounting system. 
Instruments for measuring performance are also necessary.  Or a reputable 
machine shop, well equipped,  can do the job for you.
