Yes there is a big difference between us. And it has nothing to do with racing. And the person advising me is quite adept at doing his own building and machining, and build some very competitive engines. I am done with your childish antics. Last edited by David Lee; 06-11-2017 at 02:46 PM. |

You're not using the wrong block, if there is no replacement available. The last block that I filled , did not have a replacement. After several no. 1 qualifiers and a Nat'l record, it never dawned on me that I was using the wrong block. Perhaps you should have qualified that statement at the outset. Just sayin' .

Re: Hardblock?
Mark, thank you for standing up for those of us that want to run an odd-ball (Non-Chevy) combo. I didn't see a Mopar 273 on Carl's website.

Re: Hardblock?
On our 267 chevy we took a 305 block and sleeved it down to 3.50. Didn't fill it and had reasonably thick cylinder walls. Still leaks 2 to 4%after 60 runs. Aftermarket block is the best way to go but we ended up with a decent block for half the price of aftermarket.
