Much like a trans blanket I assume.

That will be a required item now I'm sure, even though the intercooler construction, or possibly faulty/wrong material as already stated is the culprit.

I can show you a log from my 427 with twin 76GTS billets. But i ran 25 psi all the way but not on transbrake. It´s with your old Neal converter..

No,while i really have some good ideas about what is needed in a block,i really don't have the time to work on it. As we get more highly qualified people, i will be able to cut back on engine building and spend more time on r&d and designing new stuff.

we will be using an RHS tall deck-but just remember one thing,it's not the parts you use,it's what you do to the parts that makes the difference.

i know. thats why Lingefelter was so good at what he did. it wasnt the parts he used but the processes and other little things that added up.

JL: a 4.5 bore center that could use the available heads on the market

Don't worry about the heads... someone comes out with a 4.5 bore space block the head casting guys will be all over that one QUICK.

if you go to a 4.5 bore space ls block you might as well use a 4.5 bore space sbc block. by that time is loses the characteristics of any type of block and is just a race block
