Hello All!!! When i used to work at, SVI, in the 70's, thats Ted Spehard's shop, they had blocks like that!!! We use to get them from Don Calton. He had a very old mill that they used that for! I made the trip down there a couple of time's, Lot's of cool tuff going on in those day's!!!!

Has anyone here done any lightening on an OEM block? Some of the bosses, lumps, etc. on the outside of the block look nonessential and i'm wondering how much weight i might lose if i eliminate some of them.

Myself I would look else where to dump a few pounds...
the factory doesnt like to add metal to anything if
they didnt feel the need for it... there have been post
on here with the blocks cracking and that wasnt with
a lightened block... if you had a stack of blocks and
didnt mind changing it(maybe on a regular basis)
then go for it
