Tom S, I know where this M/T aluminum block and one off heads with intake and exhaust ports on same side is, and maybe available too

I've got three of them in my shed.

My imaginary shed :)

I think Herb has his block sold and im trying to help him sell the heads.His block does not have the joined lifter bores or the grooves for the hemi heads.His is like the one I built some years ago.Tom

Jack and all,there is NO machined holes in these blocks.The challenge is to get them machined first.I have not seen any M/T heads avil for a price I would be remotely interested in.These blocks have been around for years,there have been guys trying to buy them.The guy that had them bought them some years ago.There has been some posts on another board about them.I think Steve knew these blocks were around but might not have known they were hemi blocks.I just turned 75 a couple days ago,I have 2 RA V projects going right now along with dealing with these.Don Keefe wants to do a article for Poncho Perfection.Im going to get them out of the crates today and will post more pics.The owner brought them to me because he knew I am crazy enough to try to get them built in some form but Hemi is not in my thoughts.If I build them they will go in my cars.Tom

Oh Ok He texted me the other day about if I knew of anyone looking for these parts, pretty neat stuff! I should have figured you knew about them LOL

Tom, any clue how many of these blocks we're cast?

Mike,any pics of the valley?Tom

OK,bare alu bore 3.75,bare main bore 2.90,inside sleeve(rusty)3.95,outside sleeve 4.255,inside main web at bolt hole 1.15,outside main bolt hole 1.019.

If you ask me, this block almost screams OHC.
(we're pretty good at spending Tom's money :D)

But seriously, thanks for sharing. :hail:

Looks like those things are going to keep your machinist busy.

Tom, have you ever done a DNA test? I'm hoping you may be my long lost uncle :-)

AMAZINGLY cool stuff, thank you for sharing with us!

Interesting that the block has cam bores except for the front one?

Who are you having do the machine work?

:confused:

Does the machinist have blueprints to locate and layout the drilled holes and the distributor hole? Or is there another method that is used on current blocks? I know there must be but just wondering the process.

WOW...never say never.
Be awesome if any early aluminum d-port heads where made and found for said build...

Here you go Tom.

Another one of the backside.

Good stuff Tom.

Thanks Mike,that is like the first one I had,no joined lifter bores.

Tom,

Mr Mike Noun's photos make clear it's only fair&wise to have those Blocks fully photographed, and then machined for the obvious & needed surfaces.

Keep the Crates.
