I talk to Paul K about that when this subject comes up. Currently my son is having Paul cryo treat everything on his engine. Block, crank, etc.... Paul has been doing it for years. Honestly I'd defer that question to him but my initial thought is yes, it would do it some good.

Neat video and fun to watch. Looking forward to part 2. Only thing slightly odd to me was the big deal made about how rare and precious the block was. Yes it was an early Indian Adventures block. Yes it was a tall deck. But just guessing probably looking at 2K or a little more to put the #4 main saddle back in it. And it's the thrust main. You would be close to the cost of a brand new IA II block when all said and done. I know it wouldn't be a tall deck. But with a 4.400" bore and a long stroke, you can make a pretty big "Indian Engine" as the guy keeps calling it. There had been a Kauffman iron block, never used on FaceBook Marketplace for months in our area for $2500.00. It's a new block but quite rusty, sitting outside for years probably. That was an asking price. Enjoyed watching the process though.

Very interesting. Is it good as new? IDK. For a street cruiser I wouldn’t hesitate to use it. But I wouldn’t want that to be on my mind crossing the lights at 150 MPH under big power.

Thanks to Paul C for letting me know I misquoted and sorry to Paul K if he started getting phone calls for cryo treating
Any cryo treating concerns "Paul C" is the man to talk too |

I remember the motor… Creech used to be on the forum. He had a 64 GTO race car. Sad he passed.

At one time Bill Creech had two tall deck blocks.
As of Jan 2015 his best pass in the 1/4 with the big engine (606 cu in) was 8.255 @ 2750 lbs on the motor, no nitrous. The car had a mild steel round tube chassis and fiberglass bumpers, deck lid, doors, hood and front clip. .

Sorry to hear, if true, that Bill has recently passed away. Tom V. ps I have a 11" tall deck block but the crank will be a shorter stroke. (I am using that tall Deck Block for chassis clearance in my 64 Tube chassis car with twin Turbonetics "Bonneville Salt Flat" Turbos). The Tall Deck Height gets the exhaust plumbing feeding the turbos positioned in a MUCH MORE desirable height for the exhaust plumbing. 4.25" Moldex steel crankshaft with all of the latest oiling mods.
