Looking for an R3 small block or equal
« on: January 14, 2017 - 06:18:16 PM »
Found out bad news that my block is no good.  It was bored out too much.  :swear: Trying to swallow what went down but there is no other choice except to start with a sufficient block that will handle my application. I would be interested in it also if it has a rotating assembly. Not sure of all the specs needed yet.

Thanks I'll look into it. I was hoping to get into a 48 degree tappet angle but we'll see.
