Fascinating. Please post pics here when you have your masterpiece ready for public consumption!

My block has pressurized oiling, thicker casting walls, and the capacity for adaptation to stock A babbitt style, insert bearing style, AR cam style, 5 main style, and B crank style. It can be made in aluminum for all of those versions as well as the capacity to alter the waterjacket for no block ports to accommodate the guys that want OHV heads. In short, the variations possible will be determined by the market.

Hope that helps.
