Hey Mike !  I like how deep the fin cut is, but how big of a cylinder can i install before windows are created ?  1200cc's ?  1300cc's ?
And how many do you have left out of the first run ?   ;D

I wanted to say that I saw one of the JMR blocks when I was over at Mike's on Monday. I couldn't take my eyes off of the thing, it is really better looking in person, as you can see how good the tooling and design is. Those folks who have reserved one of the 5 or 6 made are lucky folks!

+1! I saw it on Saturday when I was over and we out the head on top....wow!! That thing is beefy! Its going to make some owners very very happy! We then compared it to an old RC block Mike has lying around...no comparison! Mikes block is hands down the winner here. Amazing stuff!

Well i finally have some mock up pics. I have 2 blocks in my hand. the other 4 are just waiting to have the finished buffed down...I can have them in my hands in several days if necessary. I have 2...possibly 3 left if anybody is interested. I'm very happy with the fit and finish. It was a bit of a project for sure.  ::) ;)

Good job Mike, those blocks are friggin' sweet.  How hot would that look if you painted the case, block and head all black and polished the fins?

Looks good as usual Mike. What's the next step?

That gasket seems to fit perfectly, I wish I could say the same for the middleweight.

Amazing stuff Mike and having seen the blocks in person the larger width is really impressive when compared to stock. Reminded me of the Japauto engine block. Its like a solid powerhouse!

These blocks are really something.

cheers
