The approved aftermarket block program is moving along (this is an aluminum version to sort out the machining operations prior to mass market) Iron versions will be cast soon. Both aluminum and cast iron will be the strongest cast blocks on the market from any manufacturer, because of material, casting process and other advancements in design, in the pics material will be added to achieve the proper lifter phasing with the canted heads.

The Iron block is approved for NHRA, the aluminum and iron is approved for NMCA prostock

The blocks will be machined at 45 degree standard Cleveland lifter phasing angle, but those in the pics I posted will be available as an option

slow...I have 2 new doors and 2 new front fenders so not much bodywork to do...making it all fit is the hassle, actually its not to hard. I have the whole car clecoed together for fit and finish then take it all apart, make adjustments and weld. putting a skin on a tube car is a thousand times faster and easier than this is

Say Bill,

A couple of questions:
Back on post #91 you provided some block casting prices,,,, Can I assume those prices would include the 'basic machining' required - or if not, what does that usually add to the cost?

Do aftermarket blocks typically come with main caps - if not, what do most builders typically go with / recommend?

Thanks for sharing your build and knowledge.... it's been very educational...

Go to Tim Meyer's website:

https://www.tmeyerinc.com/category-s/1970.htm

Tim has a lot of options on the block and also special pricing on the first batch of CGI blocks.

When compared to a Dart block, Tim's block is a bargain. Normally Dart will charge and additional $2500.00 ~ $3500.00 for a CGI material block and a long wait.
