-Can you say if YOU will install the iron sleeves ?
-does cam bearing surfaces in alum , need bronze bushed ?
-Can you say what might be cost difference between alum/cast iron blocks ?
Lastly, you haven't given up on the 5x5 B style iron block, eh ?

Rick,
Email me.
I have not given up or stopped on anything. All my suppliers seem busier than normal and are dragging things out waaaay further than expected and beyond what they told me. So, I keep plugging away as best I can.
I will install cylinder sleeves. I think cost will be close to the same, but I won't know for sure until I cast one.
