All I can say is .........................how soon before mine gets done!!!! Thats a pile of smashed beercans!!! Id bet they followed the KDC around and picked up the empties!!! hahahahahaa (oh yea KDC KANSAS DRINKING CREW) :Brow:
YEAAAAAAAAAA what Kevin said. Maybeeeeeeee though, Bradshaw is just slick enough to PAINT that one block in aluminum paint so it "appeared" to be yet another. Looks to me like the vaporware is materializing right before our whining eyes...........
Ok... I admitt it...the hold up is me :laugh: I'm work'n on the next batch for the next block right now. I've already killed two since i got home :beer :beer :beer :beer Burrrrrrrrp :beer
that thing is so fresh, it looks like the machining chips are still falling off of it. Do you see them on the felt? Looks like it's all ready for the sleeves to go in too. Can't tell if the lifter holes are done.
just FYI. The alum block with steel main caps installed weighs in at a whopping 108 pounds. Figure with sleeves installed , probaly be a bout 120 to 130 pounds. I would guess this would put a completely assembled alum Big Block Buick to be in the 450 to 480 pound range? Jim Burek
The block looks great. As for this comment: I have heard it called many diffrent things Mike. I just think that you have a new acronym to add to the ever expanding list..... ou: Add your favorite D word to Kansas ____ Crew. lol :laugh:
holy **** those cylinders walls are thin.. race only block? hate to try and cool that thing for the street!
uhhhhhh There are no cylinders in there yet to have walls with. This is fresh cut ready to insert the cylinder sleeves.................
That's real pretty. So pretty that you'd really want two. One to build, and one just to show off! Seeing this kinda thing going on in the Buick world will thrust these motors back into the mainstream--where they always belonged. Thanks, Rudy E
Nope! I tried to stick a magnet to the picture on the screen and it wouldn't stick! :eek2: :beer :laugh:
Do you have any deals going, like, buy a cast iron block and get an aluminum block for half price? :Brow: Kinda like the local Mexican restaurant! :beer <---- these guys need sombreros!
Maybe they will say: It's whiners................ :Smarty: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
