I am not too far from Chicago . Downstate.
Most Chevy only shops would not have touched that 510 Aluminium Pontiac Block with a 20-foot pole.
I have a favorite machinist and he is a long time old friend.
Runs a Small Gas & Engine Diesel Machine shop.
I have several Factory Pontiac 455's.
Getting ready to build one for 2016.
I am in the mountain country, Tucson, Arizona. A little ways from the corn belt.

Except for the weight, cast iron is much better for an engine block than aluminum.
