That would be a first in a c5r block. Never heard of a liner ever dropping in one of those.

I was at More fri afternoon and I didn't ask too many questions but all I know is that Brians block was warrantied and there is a brand new one sitting there in their shop. But he is supposedly going with the Darton block this time and selling that C5r.

Brian's car is a beast, I've been for a ride in it and it feels much stronger than my car and most people around here will tell you my car isn't exactly the slowest thing on earth

Just a little correction, the block was warrantied, and I am going with a 6.0 Iron block and backing down to 408CI. That seems to be the only way that I will get over the 1000RWHP mark.

Bryan are you sayin that teh c5r block wasent up to the challenge of makin 1k+ hp? Or is it that you want to do it with 408 ci instead of 427? I got a place in my heart for a 427. Be sure to give the boards here a shot at buyin it off ya! GL man
