A ram-type blowout preventer includes a first ram block having a first shearing element and a first sealing element, a second ram block opposing the first ram block and having a second shearing element and a second sealing element, a load intensifying member coupled to the first ram block, wherein the load intensifying member is a stiff cantilever beam, a receptacle of the second ram block to receive the load intensifying member when the first ram block and the second ram block close together, and shims between a top surface of the load intensifying member and a top surface of the receptacle. The load intensifying member is configured to apply a spring force when the load intensifying member is engaged within the receptacle.

What is claimed is: 1. A ram-type blowout preventer, comprising: a first ram block having a first shearing element and a first sealing element; a second ram block opposing the first ram block, the second ram block having a second shearing element and a second sealing element, wherein the second shearing element is configured to shear a tool in concert with the first shearing element; a load intensifying member coupled to the first ram block, wherein the load intensifying member is a stiff cantilever beam; a receptacle of the second ram block to receive the load intensifying member when the first ram block and the second ram block close together; shims between a top surface of the load intensifying member and a top surface of the receptacle; and the load intensifying member configured to apply a spring force when the load intensifying member is engaged within the receptacle. 2. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 1, wherein the shims are positioned upon the top surface of the load intensifying member. 3. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 1, wherein the shims are positioned upon the top surface of the receptacle. 4. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 1, further comprising a second load intensifying member coupled to the second ram block and configured to be received into a second receptacle of the first ram block. 5. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 1, wherein the top surface of the load intensifying member comprises a taper. 6. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 1, wherein the load intensifying member has a selected length so that it will engage with the second ram block after at least a partial vertical overlap between the first and second shearing elements. 7. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 1, wherein the top surface of the receptacle is sloped so that a force between the first and second shearing elements is increased as the ram blocks move toward the closed position. 8. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 1, wherein clearance between the shear elements is adjustable. 9. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 1, wherein the shims are configured to apply a second spring force when the load intensifying member is engaged within the receptacle. 10. A ram-type blowout preventer, comprising: a first ram block having a first shearing element and a first sealing element; a second ram block opposing the first ram block, the second ram block having a second shearing element and a second sealing element, wherein the second shearing element is configured to shear a tool in concert with the first shearing element; a load intensifying member coupled to the first ram block, wherein the load intensifying member is a stiff cantilever beam; and a receptacle of the second ram block to receive the load intensifying member when the first ram block and the second ram block close together, wherein the load intensifying member and the receptacle are configured so that the spring force increases as the first ram block engages the second ram block. 11. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 10, wherein a top surface of the load intensifying member is sloped to result in increasing spring force as it is engaged within the receptacle. 12. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 10, wherein a top surface of the receptacle is sloped to result in increasing spring force as the load intensifying member is engaged therein. 13. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 10, wherein a cross-sectional geometry of the load intensifying member is varied to result in increasing spring force as it is engaged within the receptacle. 14. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 10, wherein a material composition of the load intensifying member is varied to result in increasing spring force as it is engaged within the receptacle. 15. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 10, further comprising shims installed to a top surface of the load intensifying member to result in increasing spring force as it is engaged within the receptacle. 16. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 10, further comprising shims installed to a top surface of the receptacle to result in increasing spring force as the load intensifying member is engaged therein. 17. A ram-type blowout preventer, comprising: a first ram block having a first shearing element and a first sealing element; a second ram block opposing the first ram block, the second ram block having a second shearing element and a second sealing element, wherein the second shearing element is configured to shear a tool in concert with the first shearing element; a load intensifying member coupled to the first ram block, wherein the load intensifying member is a stiff cantilever beam; a receptacle of the second ram block to receive the load intensifying member when the first ram block and the second ram block close together; and shims located upon at least one of a top surface of the load intensifying member and a top surface of the receptacle, wherein the load intensifying member and the receptacle are configured so that a spring force increases as the first ram block engages the second ram block and the load intensifying member is engaged within the receptacle. 18. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 17, further comprising a second load intensifying member coupled to the second ram block and configured to be received into a second receptacle of the first ram block. 19. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 18, further comprising second shims located upon at least one of a top surface of the second load intensifying member and a top surface of the second receptacle. 20. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 19, whereby the shims and the second shims are selected based upon a tolerance stack-up of the ram-type blowout preventer. 21. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 17, wherein the load intensifying member has a selected length so that it will engage with the second ram block after at least a partial vertical overlap between the first and second shearing elements. 22. The ram-type blowout preventer of claim 17, wherein the shims are configured to apply a second spring force when the load intensifying member is engaged within the receptacle.
