New A460 Block

Jet Boat is working on my new block [img][/img]

Man, those custodians make darn good money, good luck with the build Dan, when the jegs race is at pacemakers, why don't you try to come up.

Just talked to Adney .He's got my crank fixed and it's being nitrated , should be back by the end of the week Harold ,I doubt I'll be racing at Pacemakers..between Adney, Lem and Jetboat my piggy bank is starting to run a little low. I really want to get this new engine going more than I'm wanting to race right now

If you haven't noticed the been winning some races..................

I've been wanting one of these blocks for a long time. Lem got this one back on trade that had never been machined or used. It's one of the blem blocks he had a few years ago. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse.....Kinda felt like I was dealing with "The Godfather" But I must say Thanks to Lem!!!!

"sportsman" block.

I'm glad he talked me into one 3 years ago, all I got to do this go round is open the bore up some.......

That's my plan too. I'm going to run this 557 deal for now,until I decide exactlly which way I'm going next time. I'm leaning towards a 572 A-head blower next time?? We'll see

A-head blower next time?? We'll see

Me too, one of the best investments I've made...

bb429power, Bob checks every inch of that block very carefully.He checks every bore on the engine even though it is new.

He's making sure it has the proper clearance.

The blocks have to be bored for the roller bearings.

congrats Dan on the new piece

Congrats there I am jealous, that is definately one thing I would love to have. Either an A460 or IDT Eliminator. Lots of peace of mind with one of them.

It's getting close. In fact, I'm driving a 215,000 mile excursion because I cant afford a new truck and a new HeRo motor.
