Default Re: Could Edelbrock cast a flathead block

It would not be easy even with modern 3-D printing. One of the biggest jobs would be interpreting and loading all the dimensional characteristics. Something has to tell the printer what to print and where to print it. Too, making the cores and molds would not be a job for the average enthusiast. There are pictures of some of this(casting cores) but I don't remember where I saw them?

Our friend Flat32 could give us the most competent response and appraisal as to the problems involved. Like most jobs, after it is done it wouldn't look like a big deal.
