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

If you ask me, this block almost screams OHC.
(we're pretty good at spending Tom's money ) But seriously, thanks for sharing. |

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

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.

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. |
