Not mine, its Flat32's. Had to up size alot of my equipment to be able to do it.
New flasks, vacuum chamber for the investment and new vacuum assist chamber for pouring the casting. Got it all together now but have a back log of other casting projects that Im trying to finish up. Still though I expect the casting to be a failure using the current materials. But you never know I may get lucky
Oh yea, its a model not full sized Im experimenting with every new printing filament that has come about. If its not one problem its another. But I enjoy it.

Then again, there's Tod Buttermore over on the "Model A" forum that actually does cast and machine his own Cleveland and Model A blocks, etc.....just sayin' that it can be done! Click the link. DD

Don't disagree one bit, you can purchase almost any modern block in aluminum, but they are not flathead v8s!
