I just looked at one in my machine shop, looks beautiful and will be good when done, but its costing the owner another $1500.
Even if they could make a bolt in besides the piston bore would help.

... so now you're looking at $4600-$4700 range correct ?? ...

... just look at other aftermarket block Iron offerings, and compare ... not just price either, we can do better, IMO ...

So let's make the cheaper overseas block and fill it with the cheaper overseas crank and rods. Let's talk about how much you saved when the crank breaks and takes out the block. Maybe it will and maybe it won't. What was the point of this? Oh yeah, a high horsepower race engine. Sounds like a good investment.

... WHOA, slow down dave, it was never stated this was to be an over seas block, in fact quite the opposite, it was to be a stellar piece, because honestly from the manufacture aspect, blocks are dumb parts, for someone with CAD capability and high level casting & tooling capability it's not impossible ...

... and as for my stroker kits, they will be the highest quality non-billet forgings on the market ...

... pricing will be very favorable as well ...
