Just a quick info list. The block will take all 09 sheetmetal. It is a NEW 409 block.. Can take stock cam, cranks and heads. Can also do most any thing a BBC can do. options will be choice of mains, since a lot of guys line bore the iron blocks for stroker cranks, choice of cam journal size and height, our 09's have a shorter crank to cam centerline. We can make them .200 tall, which gives them the same deck height as a BBC maybe making room for an even longer stroke??
Another request I keep getting is to drill the pan rails and front cover to use BBC sheetmetal so we made a provision for hat.
The blocks will come with billet 4 bolt mains with billet aluminum as another option. Lot of race blocks have aluminum mains, so we'll make those too.
The alloy block is getting done first since you can weld aluminum easier than iron. Iron ones will come soon after, but so far every one that said they wanted the first one,has wanted aluminum.
We aalso completed programing on a raised port version of the heads. I'll get pics out soon. Bob
