But have the utmost respect for you guys and what you are doing. What are the pros & cons? How expensive is it to do? My bracket Nova had the gears done by previous owner, he never told me how much.
Stockers and bracket engines are the guys who SHOULD be doing cryo. It’s relatively cheap and the life span of the parts (plus the added toughness) far outweighs the cost.

Doing blocks makes the ring seal better, although I’ve only done two blocks and since I retired I’ve lost track of those blocks. You could see the ring seal was better on the blowby meter.
