Default Re: Could Edelbrock cast a flathead block

John Rodeck was able to duplicate a "392" Chrysler block that was in Forged Aluminum for me in 2001 and I thought the cost was very reasonable. I know that the flathead might be more difficult to do but I thought I had seen that someone had or was making them in aluminum now.

See the link I posted in #5. There were some proto types built I believe, but the project was dropped.
