I am pretty sure its true for all of the pre 89 stuff. All the blocks before then were essentially the same casting. The forged crank of the TII might give you a little bit of an advantage but probably just by buying you more time and slowing the effects at that power level. Of course if there was some sort of main cap girdle for these engine you could probably build a non common block with the same strength as a common block
