There is a reason why pro stock still uses a cast iron or graphite block.

Glenn,
Does Weston Machine in Piscataway NJ still do many of the Pro Stock team's block preparation?

Stupid old man trick bent some valves. And I just did that a few months ago due to a part failure. Like they say if you’re going to be stupid you got to be tough

I don't think so. With cnc machines anyone can do it today.

Had enough parts so it will be back together today.

Have you posted any pics of the new car or did I miss them?

Larry Hill · 06-07-2022, 10:45 AM

Just buying parts, doing a little research, and getting my block honed with a new ring or two.
