The "new" modelA block is estimated to be in the 2-2500 range, the V8 is twice as complex and twice the weight of the A block

You have to think of how many can you sell--- there's the price of the casting, then the price of the machining, I would suspect the market will be small at what it would cost

Say the cost of bare casting is 1000, machining 2000, in lots of 1000, how long would you wait on a return on the investment , how much would you sell it for when you only sell 50 a year, this doesn't even consider development and engineering costs of the mold for the casting cores
