Broken block? Check this out

Interesting. Not much left in the water passages.

The holes are the same size as the holes in the stock HG. So it shouldn't restrict the flow anymore than stock, or an immeasurable amount more.

Odd, pics didn't come up in last post.

that's a good looking block

best looking unfilled I've seen

i'm curious how deep the fill goes down, about an inch down or so is typically where the issues are

Some secrects still But this one isn't filled. It's plated and welded! But there is some trick shit going on w the sleeves and sizing that should make for some interesting testing.

Well if that doesn't hold up then.....

Will this be able to be used for street applications or is it just for race applications?

 

[CPRsm]

Should be a street piece no problem.

Holy shit you guys are moving down at Bowling Green .. 8.16@166 ... So when are you guys breaking into the 7s?

 

[psfracer]

Man, I REALLY like that 60' time. 330 and 1/8th are really strong to. Awesome pass.

Not sure how I missed this. A engine builder buddy and I were talking about doing somethig very similar. Luckily I am not anywhere near needing a short block. So I can let you guys do all the dirty work. haha

I've got some other stuff coming up as well but won't mention until copyrighted and patent filed. But it should really spice some things up with it!!!!

This is gonna be cool. Glad to hear it all works. Many people are going to be happy when it is released.

Any updates on the testing and longevity of these blocks?

I may be wrong but I believe this was scrapped. They just started breaking at the bottom portion. Sleeving seems to be the way to go.

+1 sleeved blocks are good to 1200HP IIRC.

They are good for a bit more than that.

I would guess mine was in the 1100ish range at the tire, maybe a bit more and it looked good on tear down. Going to hope for around 1300ish at the tire this go round, using the same regular dry sleeves (not the tophat ones) in my stock 2012 block.

I was going to use Darton sleeves. Not sure what tophat ones are.

They have the flange on the top. It looks like that is what most are using now

 

[cyclerick]

Has anyone tried the MID Darton sleeves which are supposedly better for cooling?

 

[ford20]

Like this? I think you might be overthinking this though.

 

[Mystickeith50]

Wow I don't think I've seen a pic of those yet.
