Without starting a melt down
just wondering whether anyone has ever used or had first hand experience with any of the aluminium engine blocks marketed by speed master for any application car or marine
My interest was in aluminium BBC block as was looking at weight savings and whether I could get the weight down close to iron sbc to drop into car older GM holden which came out with iron block/headed 304” /5 litre ( similar to Buick)
Was thinking Aluminiun headed mkiv block
4.5” bore/3.1” stroke = 394ci (6.5 litre) + GM 6l80e (6-speed) to wake it up
Have most of parts here excluding the alum block although could use bowtie block that is here so figure it was cost of alum engine block vs LS engine (possible needing rebuild)
Go easy with me on the replies we aren’t spoiled for choice down under like you chaps
