This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I know. It killed me to pull off both, but when I weighed how often it gets too hot or cold in San Diego and where the hell I was going to put everything with stock ac and power steering in place, that is when a reality check came in. It still has all steel panels and front and back seats though so it is kind of like a daily driver.

    Once you get to this level , a 17k long block doesn't sound so bad, because an all aluminum Dart BBC would probably be close to that .

    17K STOCK BLOCK longblock. Big difference. In my opinion T/A is really missing the mark by not releasing their block in iron. Casting it in aluminum is not necessary for the average enthusiast.

    $6000 in aluminum = limited buyers and market
    $3350 in iron = lots of sales to the serious Buick racer

    Dart aluminum BBC block is 5K , and I hear you get what you pay for compared to the cheaper made World Products aluminum BBC. I see what you are saying, but if given the option, and I had worked my way to this higher level, I would pay the extra $2650 for the lighter weight repairable aluminum piece anyways. Its all a day dream for me though.
