Quote: In the past few weeks I contacted LSM about making a billet Alum block. They will make it to spec and the cost is the same or less than what I have in the block I have now and comes ready to use. Here is the draw back. You have to order 10 blocks on your first order and my pockets are not that deep. If 9 other guys are willing to step up then lets place an order. [/quo If you want an aluminum block, Ernie Elliott makes those. Deck height starts at 9.320" IIRC.
I may be wrong but I think the Elliot block is a cast block. The LSM block starts out as a block of aluminum and is fully cut to spec on a CNC. You have the benefits of making the same power as a cast iron block but without the weight. Also your not limited to a short deck height. Just something to think about.
