This block also has 4-bolt main caps as well

Soon I will be cleaning all of the parts and getting them ready to mag. Then I will mag the block, crank, rods, and the heads. The block is going to be .060" over with a standard stroke. The heads will pretty much be stock. Other details will soon be available.

More Comming Soon! ! !
