Getting Mike to post pictures is no where nearly as difficult as getting you to post them Frank.

Yes Mick

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #315 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:52:04 AM »

If I had to take a guess, I'd say they would be 3lb lighter than the steel sleaved stock blocks.

Sorry Mick, reply 305.

Sam.

SON OF A BATCH OF COOKIES these are works of art.... that you can put between your legs...and enjoy....each power stroke...like it was your first time. SPECTACULAR WORK to you and your machinist!

Mike,

VERY nice. What is left to finish on those blocks - anything? You carved those by hand with your Dremel right?

Did you try a test fit to the cases and head? I'd like to see a picture of that. I am sure everyone would also...

I'll be waiting for the dyno test results.

I brought the first one home tonight Art. The other 5 are very close behind. It was like bringing home my first born.

I'll mock it up as soon as I get the upper case bored. Of course I did it with my Dremel.....and only 1 bit! I'll post a pic of the carbs for this engine too...you'll get a kick out of it.
