Aftermarket Cast Iron SBC Cylinder Blocks

Lew Silverman · 10-23-2013, 04:00 PM

Is anyone aware of an available aftermarket/performance cast iron cylinder block that is machined for a small-journal crankshaft? I'm looking for options for next year.

Thanks!

Not that I am aware of. Dart might be interested in making a run of them, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'd say your only hope is to go on a quest for a small journal Bow-Tie block, good luck with that. Have not seen one in a long time.

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge. I myself had never seen one, but I've been told to "never say never"! I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to repeat my "buy three and get two boat anchor's" fiasco of two years ago.

Now I have some shopping to do!
