Somewhat still on topic... anybody else notice that Ritter posted a bunch of block stuff in the race parts for sale forum here recently? I'm not a SBM guy, but it's still interesting to see it. EDIT: Them's some mighty shiny crankshaft throws you got there, Mister.

Can't wait to see what this thing does on the pump. What do you have for an induction system? Hoping that Ritter finally gets his blocks out there so maybe, just maybe the price will come down a bit.
I think I can speak for most of us when we say we love updates!!!

Thanks for the pics ! Mines back from QMP waiting on me. (I've been busy working on my Duster's indy motor.)
I noticed you had to grind a fair amount for the rod clearance,did you also have to grind for the crank throw clearance ?
Who's lifters are you using ?
I'm sure you posted it earlier but how big is it ? I did grid a bit of rod clearance but I'm using BME 500 Rods (Pretty Big). The only place the cranksahft did rub a little was on the front counter weight was not chamfered like the rear. It is a little spot were the machine work on the ritter block doesn't go down deep enough, no big deal just a few second with a die grinder and whala! 4.100" Stroke x 4.185" Bore 451CID Erson Lifters (.904")

Are there any oil drain back holes in the rear of the valley? Yes Two actually, I won't have an oil pump/distributor drive in this engine so it will have an extra.

I don't have a picture of the other oil return in the back but it is right below the oil pump drive gear location. Both return to the rear pan rail next to the rear main cap. See picture #3 in at the beginning of this post.

What was the overall quality of the block, and how much work was required to get you to where you are now?
Bore and hone?
Mainline need honed?
Lifter bores honed?
Any other clearance or areas of concern?

Any other clearance or areas of concern? Everything you mentioned should come undersized. Maybe rough bored but not honed. How do I know how the cylinder was finished? Or what size the main bores need to be? Or even lifter sizing. It's part of building an engine that all those things and more need to be left undersize or too many times you end up doing more work.
