Default Re: Could Edelbrock cast a flathead block

The castings in the video are fairly simple castings compared to a flathead block. A flathead is a very difficult cast. I am sure they (are a lot of others) could do it if they wanted to extend the effort, but it would be very difficult to be cost effective!

During my high school years I worked at a foundry. I would shift weights during the pours and also the clean up after the pours. The guy at the belt sanding the casting brought back memories!
