Our Ritter block was checked out on a CNC, everything was where it was supposed to be. Hardness checked out good, and I can confirm from machining on the block, it cuts like a Dart block, which seems to be a little less harder than an R3 but much better than a factory block.

Finally getting around to starting the assembly on it next week. Should have it finished by the end of the month. It's going to be E85 street/strip deal now, but more strip than street.

I would still love to see a replica of the older X blocks with revised priority main oiling and run the galleys down the center of the lifter bores. And make them siamesed bores.
