Oh Hell Yeah but then How do I tell the wifey we are living in the boat cause it cost us 50 Gs for the motor. I would love to get my hands on a aluminum low deck big block to build a 498" stroker from. Kieth Black made some but they are rare to find. I think we are more easily to fond an all aluminum 6.1L and work from there. A Viper V10 would be good too the Truck V10 were cast iron blocks and heavy.galen said:It is a cast aluminum water block, full cooling. 5" bore space. 734". Can even be built for pump gas. I want one, Now how to get it past mama. Maybe if I tell her it will fit in the car and the boat. think.gif
Randall my word exactly (WOW), I would be scared to run it. I tend to break things from time to time. :grin: If I ever want to upgrade I will stick a procharger on mine and call it good. CJ you can get a Koleno iron block in low or high deck. Thats what I have and it is stout, 320 lbs bare though. Ask JJ it's a heavy hunk of iron in the back of my boat.soldier of fortune said:WOW nevermind
I have several iron blocks I could use for projects, but I have always wanted an aluminum one. I wondered how my 68 Cuda would do with one in it since it would pull the front wheels off the ground with the heavy 383 iron block and heads what would it do with 100-200 less pounds in the front end.galen said:Randall my word exactly (WOW), I would be scared to run it.

Slow down for the speed bumps and it won't do that!!! :grin:
Guess I should have stated when I was at the track with the 12.5" wide mickeys on it. It never did that on the street I was more likely to go sideways on the street from loss of traction.customtouch said:ChryslerJet said:I have several iron blocks I could use for projects, but I have always wanted an aluminum one.

Sold it in 04 wish I hadn't though want it back. Pics are on a hard drive somewhere will see if I can dig them up. Now it wasn't wheel standing but it did lift the front end I never saw it but others told me it did. I was always behind the wheel.soldier of fortune said:ChryslerJet said:I have several iron blocks I could use for projects, but I have always wanted an aluminum one.
