I think it's easier to talk in how much HP or TQ a block can handle as measured on a dyno. But even then you have tons of variation between dynos.
Well, and even then, given we're discussing stroker kits that mess with cylinder volumes and compression ratios, even torque testing isn't a valid comparison between different builds of the same basic engine. Just too many variables.
