Subject: New SBC aftrmarket block by tpi421vett on 2009/12/4 7:32:37 I was at my machine shop today, Strasburg Machine. They run a top fuel car, do several Alcohol and pro mod engines. They are a hard core race engine machine shop. I was talking to Lindsey, the tuner and manager of the shop. Procomp out of Australia now is making SBC's that are a clone of a Dart block. It has billet steel 4 bolt main caps, and will handle a 4.200" bore. So you could go 450+ ci with it. I saw it, and it looks pretty beefy! it has a high nickel content, and the metal content of a high dollar race block. Oh... it's called Procomp out of Australia. Strasburg machine is a W/D for them. Their number is 801-785-2753. It will take a 4.200" bore, and you can go past 450ci with it. It is in the $13XX plus shipping range. They have done several high hp engines using these blocks, and they have worked perfect. Actually, it looks better than my bowtie block! They also make a Ford version that can go to 460 based off a 351 windsor. I'm not making a dime off any of this, just trying to put the word out there are some new options out there. The more options the better! Jim |
