Thanks Brandon, and a VERY Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Out of curiosity--what was to be the weight savings over a factory iron block?



Thanks and same to you!

There is no weight savings over a factory block. Most factory blocks weigh about 230 lbs, while most aftermarket iron blocks weigh in the high 200's to low 300's. The extra iron is a tradeoff for the extra strength (meat) in the block.

Aluminum blocks, of course, are a different story.



My mistake--I assumed you were considering making an aluminum block!? No???
