Those blocks look like they are made for professional racers which translates to extremely expensive. What are you building?

 

they are high dollar $9000 to $13000 that why i need the good an bad

you're not going to find that information here. 95% of the people here don't spend that much on the entire car.

 

is that 9000-13000 for just the block?

that thing better be laced with titanium with gold inlays

if you are thinking about buying a block like that then i hope you are planning on spending 40K+ for the rest of the motor

LOL

Sad but true...

 

maybe true but doesnt hurt to ask

 

well what about the dart or brodix blocks

Actually they are made from forged billet aluminum. Much stronger and better quality than cast aluminum. The sbc ones feature raised cams, splayed or cross bolted mains, etc.. I doubt anyone is using them for a rod which spends any time on the street.

Crowerjunky, what are you building exactly?

 

the best an easy way to tell ya is go to my photos

i know this i was just jokeing, as i dont think i will ever build a motor that will require a block such as this one, the most expensive motor i've built so far has cost me about 6K, that's a far cry from a 2500hp 60K, motor, don't think i will ever want to go that fast.

an air/swamp boat?

i wouldn't think these things need that kinda money put into a motor to make them go fast, i dont know anything about these types of boats but i would think a mildly built 350 could make one of these things hall some arse

 

its true you dont have to spend 60k on a motor but the ones in the picture cost 30k an up an from 850 to 1000 hp they do close to a 100 in 400ft thats how far we race em

i see you were in the navy thankx for your service

 

Looking at the pictures on the home page, it looks like those blocks don't have any water jackets. I don't know if you run a cooling system or not on those boats?

Have you considered something like one of the aluminum blocks from Dart? They are about half the price of those billet blocks.

well what it is we run alcohol so we dont need water

you're welcome, it was my pleasure

i would think that one of the dart big or little M blocks would do, but if you are only looking at aluminum for weight savings then they also make good aluminum blocks that will withstand well more than 1000hp. i seriously think the one's that you were looking at in the original post are primarily for 2000hp and up all out competition motors.

well im looking at both a big block an small block i need the big block to take at least 1600hp the small block 1000hp an yes need all the weight saving i can get but i need strong also do you know what the dart ---brodix aluminum blocks are rated at
