Stallion, You need to also look at the posts I made about the aluminum billet race block KRE has (that Mellott showed me) that I was bragging up.

Sorry Tom, I did not see that thread. Like I said to you in my PM, it will be hard for me to dislike a man that says kind words about my son and me. Thank You for that and this. Maurice.

"Guys two of us here that have had first hand experience say lets get it back to his question and stay with IA blocks. No cheerleading either!

Aftermarket blocks are a new deal for alot of us in the Pontiac community-old hat for many Chevy guys. There is a little learning curve but a good machinist can help figure them out."

Maurice look back a few posts to this-no jabs at KRE trying to get it back on track and suddenly we get it off track in both directions.

So yes when we get a "cheerleading tangent" especially one saying there must be another side I'm going to bring up some points I have experienced and can document. And I am probably one of a fairly small "club" of folks that have had an MR-1 and an IA2 ,maybe not to the power level some of the other folks here have , but that isn't my goal a dependable 700+ HP.So issues with both "normal" and abnormal I have experienced

I can also tell you some potential issues with some of the new aluminum 409 heads I'm going to have to resolve, but that's a whole new tangent.
