Thanks Lem. My Machinist was VERY impressed w/block. He said it was alot better than the Merlin and Darts that he had worked with.

did he sonic it after you bought it?...

The sonic was done at the plant. They keep it w/serial# of the block. I sent the ser.# to Lem and he got the sonic from Ford. Lem, I will call you tomorrow and you can explain it all to me.

I want some too...then we can see whos sonic is bigger cheers

Brian Wolfe was name head of Ford racing technology ( North American Motorsports) about two years ago and has been a diehard Ford drag racing fanatic. I heard a couple of months ago he was promoted to VP of European operations. So, Im guessing the bean counters have control of the motorsports operations again.

If it aint NASCRAP related, its gonna wither on the vine.

Just a theory tho... Suspect

sounds viable... but what made this block so special... a little more cube capacity?

Lem, I went to my machinist yesterday to pick mine up . He was telling me of all the blocks he's bored and honed through the years,mine takes the prize of being the heaviest and the hardest. His quote was(That block will still be going strong when we are dead and gone) Very Happy
