also I see today that Mark McKeown has got his Titus block program approved for 351c racers..Congrats and thank you Mark!

does that mean there will be an overflow of fords out there now?

The ford aftermarket is stepping up its game...the strongest blocks on the market 351C CGI (compacted graphite iron)

available from Tim Meyer Inc

Say Bill,

A couple of questions:
Back on post #91 you provided some block casting prices,,,, Can I assume those prices would include the 'basic machining' required - or if not, what does that usually add to the cost?

Do aftermarket blocks typically come with main caps - if not, what do most builders typically go with / recommend?

Thanks for sharing your build and knowledge.... it's been very educational...

Go to Tim Meyer's website:

https://www.tmeyerinc.com/category-s/1970.htm

Tim has a lot of options on the block and also special pricing on the first batch of CGI blocks.

When compared to a Dart block, Tim's block is a bargain. Normally Dart will charge and additional $2500.00 ~ $3500.00 for a CGI material block and a long wait.

Tim will be offering the blocks almost fully finished, requiring just boring and finishing the block to your requirements and specifications saving the buyer lots of money in align honing and other machine work. Every single block is CNC machine finished too.

As a frame of reference, the Ford Racing 351 block is $2800 and not even comparable to this beast. My little BOSS302 block ran $1800 but was a good investment.

Of course you can....my backup engine or engine number 2 (the guinea pig) is going on the dyno real soon with all kinds of updated improvements, better ring package, better head, better this and better that but still with a cast iron cam package..I will post up the results, vid or the sheet...something, because that's what I do
