Like I said I would love that engine in a bogger even though it would send me into a higher class because of the aluminum heads. I am glad that they did something other than another chevy small block. I also liked how they showed some of the things most people don't think about like relieving stress risers and opening up oil returns. A couple of thing I would have done was paint the inside of the engine with a good heat resistant paint to help with oil flow, plus glue some screening over the oil return holes in the cam valley to keep any broken parts from getting into the oil pan! Oh this week looks like they are going to do a blown old school hemi :-bd :-bd

Referring to the color you used in the site. I like the blue on black of the title pages.

That's strange. On tapatalk for me, all text is black.

That line made me feel all warm and tingly inside!
For a few dollars more they could've had a brand new billet crank (which they claimed wasn't available) from http://www.kingscrankshaft.com/

I called them. They can even build me a billet crank for the Turbo Chevy Sprint I want to build. So far though, no billet long enough to build a stroker crank for the 4.0L block (I would make it 0.060 or more longer throw than the 258 crank so custom pistons/ rods wouldn't be needed.)
