built and sold many blocks from them in 20 yrs.
Note:
1. pressure test,pressure test upon arrival,If your guy can't do it find someone who can.
2. do not let them do any final machining
3. their cnc stroke clearance is spot on, have them do it, de-burr the heck out of it.
4. Cams don,t turn in block, got to fix it.
5. lifter bore size is mayhem, fix it
6. Deck square and parallel un-finished is not good. Do not let them finish deck,and good luck with your given CH on 10.720 deck with what your finished corrected deck will be.
7. Cut main caps loose, re-torque then re-align hone as needed. Ya I know its new, do it
8. If you want pushrod/lifter oiling have them prep it. Hard to find someone that is capable of gun drilling later.
9. There is more, I'm done, Yes they will handle lots of power we can make with our given selection of components, but not experienced with boosted applications

Thaxs for the advice...... up
