We are working on the new design aluminum block molds. The next type will be made in the same foundry as the top of the line Donovian pro blocks. There will be two types this time. The last ones we made sold out quickly. As you all know AP will provide only a quialty product. Many of the changes are based on their learning from how the Donovian block are made. We will keep you posted as we go.

We made 5 short deck blocks. There is one being built by a customer with welded smaller mains. This block that is being done will have NO cylinder sleeves. They Nickacell (misspelled for sure) the cylinder bores. I think that we cut the deck more than 1''. He will post pictures and what was done soon. We will post the new changes just before we release the run.

Bob,the one Ric got was a 1/2 in shorter and when I inquired early,I was told that was as short as you could do then.FYI,the FACTORY alu block that I had was designed to run without sleeves.M/T tried them in the early 60s,even hard anodized the bores.They finally put steeped sleeves in their blocks.Tom
