If the block is a Gen 5 or Gen 6 BowTie it is very strong. I wouldn't be scared to put 2,000 hp in either one. It is the standard 502 cu in block that is weak in the main webbing but it will bore bigger. GM recommends to to go 700 hp . I consider this to have a safety factor included though. I do know of them doing more hp.

Yes my name is Steve.
The 566 I built was for a guy in WV who had to run a "stock block" class. Then 2 weeks after we finished it, they changed the rules to allow aftermarket blocks. Go figure...
This off season we are going dart.
