They (OEM blocks) have been drag raced at 2000 hp. I have not heard of the 351 block splitting like the 302. They split between the main and cam bearings. The taller deck of the 351 gives them more meet. The modular block has no cam bearing, being on overhead engine. That gives the modular block an advantage.
